www.huffingtonpost.com/eoin-higgins/what-the-media-isnt-telli_1_b_8975588.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592US media has glossed over the fact that the US naval forces were violating Iranian territorial waters. The US navy, despite being the largest and most powerful in the world, does not have the divine right to disregard the territorial sovereignty of any country's waters, not even countries that our government dislikes. Reminding the public of this fact is important. But the US media hardly mentioned it, preferring instead to amp up the drumbeat of possible military action in response and raise the barely veiled specter of the US Embassy hostages in 1979 by referring to it as a "crisis."
