aid ships do not get boarded by armed commandos all the time, rarely if ever does it happen and never does it result in the death of 9 unarmed people.
after i read it will i feel murdering unarmed civilians bringing in aid is ok ?

You can board and inspect ANY ship within those 200 miles... Just because, when challenged, that ship SAYS that all they have is aid, doesn't matter. They don't have to take the captains word for it. I have posted the law... look it up yourself.
Every time the coast guard boards a large vessel, they are wearing bullet proof vests, carrying M16s, and they are covered by automatic 50cal machine guns from the zodiac, as well as 20mm cannon and a sometimes a 5inch gun from the cutter. and YES, THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY. You obviously don't have the slightest idea what you are talking about. I suggest you call a coast guard station and ask them if what I'm telling you is true.
Stop twisting the facts.... the people on that ship were not unarmed, and they attacked the boarding crew. If you do that to the US coast guard, you will be shot dead. In fact, if you fail to stop your vessel when hailed and told to do so, they will fire on your ship.
Stop making stupid statements and simply call a coast guard station and ASK THEM
jeeez!
