Another turnabout?
Now THIS is interesting.
The U.S. Navy rescued the crew of a North Korean cargo ship off the coast of Somalia Tuesday, after it was attacked by unidentified men who took control of part of the vessel.
The Navy ... dispatched a helicopter from a ship about 90 kilometers away. The Navy says the pirates had taken control of the ship's command center, but the crew remained in control of the engine room and steering controls.
As the U.S. Navy destroyer James E. Williams approached the North Korean ship in the Indian Ocean northeast of Mogadishu, it contacted the pirates and ordered them to surrender. At about the same time, the cargo ship's crew attacked and overpowered the pirates. ... Three of the ship's crew were seriously injured, and were coptered to a U.S. Navy hospital ship.
That's the definition of allies. Working together against a common Mohammedan enemy, as Stalin -- certainly not a friend -- worked with us against Hitler. ¶ 3:46 PM
