So has anyone else been following the story? Apparently the pirates are pissed off that we killed them after they took a man hostage and looked like they were going to shoot him.

Interesting. Pirates hold positive support from Somalians because of nuclear waste dumping and fish thievery. If the USA was in a similar position to that, we'd be all "**** yeah, we will rebel against those who are wronging us!"

Unfortunately, I still believe hostage taking is unacceptable in any situation. We do it to, with names like Guantanamo and Gitmo. Doesn't make it right. The real focus of this situation should be to deal with the hospitals hiring the mafia to dispose of their waste cheaply. Cut that serpent's head off. But what can we do to repair the damage that is already done by the dump?

Thanks for the link Sub, it's nice getting information that the news on television often fails to deliver.

Those ships need ninja's to defend them.

Completely possible with anther military-cutting Dem at the helm. Send in 100 troops, no armor!
