#4 I hope that the Chicoms make an example of these guys, since nobody else will. I mean a real example, like going apesh*t crazy. One good example will set the tone for the neighborhood. |

#2 Neither the Chinese or the Indian Navy (since this happened in the Indian Ocean) can be very happy about this one. |
