A couple of quick questions.

1. If the situation were reversed, and the Iranian Navy sent 3 large and immensly and unopposably powerful warships (hypothetically, I know they don't have any) to cruise 50 miles off the Florida coastline, would the US Navy :-

A. Stay in port.
B. Zoom out in whatever boats they could get hold of and give the Iranians some sh1t.

2. Does anybody think what the Iranians did was unreasonable (foolhardy yes, but that is often called bravery)in the face of, what is to them, a serious threat from a beligerent foe?
