Iran's attack upon the US

Here's the photo of one of the Iranian boats that attacked the US Navy. Its a small cigarette type boat, with two guys wearing hot orange life preservers. They don't look armed. The bow is up so it can't be loaded with heavy explosives. Reports are that they were dropping boxes in the water, possibly mines...aren't mines heavy? The whole thing is screwy: The more I read the less I know what happened and what to believe. Don't forget the Tonkin Gulf Resolution - the supposed attack upon two of our destroyers in 1964 - turns out the attack was a fabrication. Its obvious to me that Bush wants a military conflict of some kind with Iran. But this speed boat incident is pathetic...the boats are operated by the Revolutionary Guards, a radical political group, not the Iranian Navy. I am sure the Iranian gov could stop the Guards if they wanted, but the gov sees it as a way of harassing the US. Iran sees itself as a regional power, and resents the US patrolling in its region.
