I get the impression there is a degree of glossing over going on here. This crisis has to be the biggest threat to the west in decades and yet the Libya thing is 3rd from the top in the Telegraph. Why??? Not a lot of mention of the Iranian warships in the Suez canal either.

Iran Navy saves ship from Hong Kong attacked by pirates
The naval forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have thwarted an attempt by pirates to seize a commercial ship from Hong Kong in the Red Sea.
In response to the distress call, Iran's 12th fleet came to the vessel's rescue. The pirates fled the scene following the clash with the Iranian forces and the ship continued on its way.
In line with international efforts against piracy, the Iranian Navy has been conducting anti-piracy patrols in the Gulf of Aden since November 2008 to safeguard maritime trade and in particular ships and oil tankers owned or leased by Iran."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
