Gee...were is the UN? Sounds like an International Problem that they should be involved in solving (Like that group can solve any of the worlds problems..they are worthless).
The U.S. Navy was created to help combat pirates off our shores....they had the right answer...shoot first and ask questions later.....(Got to love a sound policy that solves the problem)
(By the way, you may want to remove your picture, as it may just end up on a wanted poster)
Actually, the U.S Navy currently IS involved in an international effort to eradicate the pirates operating off the coast of Somalia. For the past few weeks, there have been numerous stories in the newspapers about this situation. It sounds funny, but it's actually pretty serious. The Somali pirates usually seize some kind of a merchant ship, steal the cargo, sell it off and then hold the crew members captive till someone (a government or their families or whoever) pays a ransom.
