- By using the above logic why then didn't the Japanese or French escorts
- just put a 135mm shell into the Greenpeace ship instead of boarding it and
- forcing it to veer away? Greenpeace uses countries non-violent orders to
- their extreme and press these escorts to the limit. Maybe one day they'll
- learn that these aren't unarmed fishing vessels.
- Who knows maybe the Japanese were getting even for all the ramming Greenpeace
- has done to their merchant fishing fleet. Nobody said the Japanese didn't
- like revenge!
