Iran and Pirates

I found an awesome article today, about the US Navy rescuing a group of Iranian fisherman who had their ship hijacked by Somali pirates.  This action speaks volumes about the character of the US navy and even the US as a whole.  We should always seek to be compassionate to people, whether they are members of a hostile and dangerous nation or not.  The meekness of the US Navy today heaps burning coals on the heads of Iranian leadership and reassures the people of Iran that we can distinguish between the tyrants in power and the innocent people who are trapped under their dictatorship.
