"Iran is not a party to UNCLOS, nor to its predecessor, the 1958 Geneva Convention on the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone."

And as far as my property line, "it was never in dispute". Why would you compare my small, private domain to the borders of a nation?

As to the taken of the 15 sailors being illegal, if that is in fact the case, I can only say that we are guilty of far worst when we take foreign nationals & civilians, from foreign soils & secertly ship them foreign to secert jails to be held incognito & tortured. "Extraordinary Rendition" violates human & civil rights
violates the Geneva Conventions & is a crime against humanity & a war crime. The Iranians look like cub scouts along side of US.
