We should blast them ! They aren't allowed a Navy since WW2, so are required by law to ask for assistance from us, what bs !

Many countries of the UN have made statments to discourage the Jap government from doing their killings but there has been no economic sanctions applied to their country to force their hand into ceasing the practice. I whole heartedly suport the actions of Greanpeace and Sea Sheperd. I visited the Sea Sheperd team while they were in Melbourne, I saw the Farley Mowat which has been retired and the damaged Robert Hunter which is now being repaired in Tassie somewhere. They are awesome people and the ships are very imposing.

Give a call to your representative...they'll know, or will find out for you. molly,
