If your family was starving to death, would you just accept it and wait to die? Or would you choose to do something that is definitely both immoral and risky, but might just save your family?
And if you had to pick a target for kidnapping, wouldn't the people who have been dumping nuclear waste(!) on your shores for over a decade be at the very top of your list?

I thought the Somali pirates lived like pimps when they're onshore. Anyway, that's what I read somewhere.
Your view is extremely left, and I think you'd be congratulating the trigger man if the captain of that ship was a family member.
No matter what the root cause of the pirates is, it doesn't mean we should just be nice to them. We should scuttle all of their ships to send a message.
