#1 What exactly has Iran done about ending the Pirate's predations?
Talk?
Profit?
Not a damn thing?

#3 "Iran criticizes failure to crack down on Somali pirates"

And how exactly has I-ran used its vaunted "navy" to attack said pirates?

Put up or shut up, you whiney-assed fools. Looks like you're named "I ran" for a reason....

#4 Barbara,
They can't attack fellow Muslims.
Except of course, unless they're the wrong kind of Muslim. Or they're not pious enough. Or they have associated with infidels. Or they just feel like conquering them. Other than that, they can't attack. It' someone else's job.

#5 "Except of course, unless they're the wrong kind of Muslim."

I think the Somalis are of the Sunni variance. Which is partially why the Iranians feel free to complain.

The other part is that the Iranians like to be asses at times.
