Why can't you celebrate the efforts of the crew in the USS KIDD instead of some guy on the other side of the world?

They were fisherman in their own part of the world, not military people... Its the humanitarian thing to do.

Agreed, the people of Iran are not our enemy just like our people are not the enemy of Iran. Our respective enemies are our very own governments and propagandists in the media empires.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

Once Obama starts to bomb them they will forget about this incident. The drums are beating for war with Iran now that the Iraq war is over and the war in Afghanistan is getting close to ending

Controlling the narrative is important.
Stories like this make the U.S. look like the good guy, and Iran look like a dick after they said we had no business being there.
It is always beneficial to be perceived as having the moral high ground.

Its all part of the narrative about the US building up to war with Iran. This is just keeping Iran in the news. At this point that is the goal.
