Does such a stupid question really need to be asked?

1. Duplicate thread.

2. International waters are called such for a reason. I missed the part where it says Iran can't do this.

So responding to a stupid question, with a stupid question is your answer?

Iran is free to sail wherever it wants and stay as long as they can afford it as long as they stay in international waters. Its a big ocean.

How else can such a question be answered? I guess since you responded I now feel justified to provide an answer to the original question. The US can put its ships anywhere it feels they're needed to keep rouge nations (such as Iran, N. Korea, Syria) from using force to threaten other nations such as Isreal, the USA itself, or our allies. The sad fact is that nations such as these in parenticies will not go to the negotiating table first. Force is the ONLY thing these countries respect. On the other hand, do you REALLY want a nation that has told the world publicly that it's PRIMARY GOAL is to wipe Isreal and the USA out of existance to have a military presence of any kind near the East coast of our country. At some point in time you need to put liberalism aside and begin to consider the real situation at hand.

If the Mad Mullahs want to send some of their rustbucket rowboats over here, fine. Why the hell would anyone care?

Because we have Nukes and they don't. Even more of a reason not to let Iran build nuclear weapons. Let the Israelis do the dirty work and bombed there facilities

Our presence there would explain why they would like a presence here.
