Iran to send aid ship to Gaza loaded with 1100 tons of 'supplies'. Iran's looking for a confrontation.

So maybe a war is the only thing that will bring them down to earth, bear in mind Israel's stance on Civilians caught up in a war zone, respect, ( or lack of) for a white flag plus the use of banned weapons on the civillian population.. bring it on

If Iran follows through, their timing couldn't be better, given the disarray our country is in economically, the oil spill, etc..

Update:

Israelis feel the ship carries weapons and suicide bombers. Also, they are not ruling out using overwhelming force in stopping the ship.

This developing news got lost in the shuffle of the news of McChrystal and Oil rig moritorium news today.

The ship is being sent by civilian charities. The government of Iran is not involved and has no interest in supplying any protection to the ship.

What civilian charities?
United Way, Salvation Army, Hezbollah Good Deed Society, or the Hamas Branch of Helping Jerry's Kids?
