Because everybody loves soldiers storming your quarters shoving guns in everyone's faces, and seizing control of the ship.

I take it "international waters" means nothing to you?
Did we have a right to blockaide Cuba when we suspected weapons being smuggled in by USSR? It doesn't matter, when you are breaking the law and there is credible evidence that you may have weapons on board, you open yourself to search.

And how do you propose unarmed humanitarian workers fight a gunship, or an armed naval vessel? Throw deck chairs at it? By running the blockaide or by ramming them with a boat they were on. The attack on the USS Cole wasn't from a big navy gunship.

What is your definition of "the law"? If you mean international law - it was the Israelis breaking it. Right, cause protecting their country from people smuggling in weapons meant to be used against them is breaking the law. Sure.

If you mean Israeli law, then it is irrelevant. Israeli law doesn't mean jackshit. Anymore than Hitler's laws, or Saddam Hussein's laws. Sure, protecting their citizens WITHOUT blindly killing others is the same as Hitler and Saddam.

Yup. Saddam wrote the laws. And his laws said they were bad. So killing them was okay. Saddam killed people not involved in the revolt.

So killing a pregnant woman who wasn't throwing rocks is okay - but gassing a person who wasn't directly involved in the rebellion is bad? They were still involved in the riots.

Earlier, you claimed all sins are equal. So by your argument, the Israelis and Saddam are both equally guilty. Saddam killed in cold blood, Isrealis killed in self-defense.

Saddam only killed the people in the rebellious city. Even people that wanted nothing to do with the rebellion.

Massive differences in the form of the threats. Still, your precious international laws still apply, WMDs are illegal to use.

So you deny that the Tea Party thinks the murder of American citizens in the flotilla is okay? Yep, cause there wasn't a single person murdered on the flotilla.
