Rainbow Warrior sinking. Sometimes it is necessary to show that you mean business. Let people know that there are consequences. Let it unimpeded they dinhies for publicity stunts -typical of Greenpeace- would be all over the place.

Quite right: <To bomb Greenpeace and be made a Knight
France has awarded a medal to the man convicted of bombing the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior in Auckland, Aotearoa. Lieutenant Colonel Alain Mafart is to be made a Knight of the Order of Merit, according to Le Figaro. ‘Giving an Order of Merit obviously for exemplary military service to a parson convicted of manslaughter in a New Zealand court and sent to jail is frankly disgusting,’ according to New Zealand Foreign Minister Don McKinnon. Mafart was a major in the Direction Generale de la Securite Exterieure, and part of a team of agents who planted a bomb on Rainbow Warrior on July 10, 1985, just before it was due to sail to the French nuclear testing site at Mururoa Atoll. Killed in the blast was Fernando Pereira, a Dutch Greenpeace activist. This year there have been six underground nuclear blasts at that same atoll.
