In the case of the seizure of two war ships of Argentina,on behalf of a creditor, an unprecedented action in violation of traditional international law by a Ghana court, apparently servicing an American writ, we blogged extensively the over the last two weeks. Scroll back a week or more to read our reasoning in the case. Or, pick a winner on the "visual evidence presented above and described below.
So who do you think gets the world opinion sympathy? Who is going to be the news media darling? Who looks like a stooge? Who looks like a greedy crook? No I didn't say who is.... I said who looks like.... You do understand now why Argentina is expected to come out of this with flag held high? Like it or not despite her dangerous views on the Falklands, the United States had better hope that "Earth Mother" takes the "stooge" and the "highway robber" down to the mat in court. A U.S. Carrier Task Force could be the next ship group seized while on a foreign port call for improper garbage disposal or whatever.
