Re: When are Americans going to learn how to behave in foreign countries?
While it's obvious that this is a situation that warrants investigating, and that it is absolutely tragic, I think it's too early to jump straight to the "awful Americans" conclusion. The last paragraph of the link you provided sums up the most likely cause for why they opened fire after the approaching boat supposedly ignored orders to stop...
It is not clear why those on board the Global Patriot opened fire, although al-Qaeda militants have in the past used small motorboats to attack US military and other foreign vessels in waters off the coast of Yemen, our correspondent adds.
I'll wait to see what details are released in the coming days before drawing any solid conclusions myself.
