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.

My view is extremely left?
I described the root causes of this continuing problem. If looking at what's actually happening is a "left wing" thing to do, then being a right-winger can only mean you're a fucking retard.
Here are some simple facts.
- urgent situations like this one need to be dealt with swiftly and effectively
- dealing with single situations will not solve the issue at large
- brute force can suppress the issue to some extent, but is unlikely to solve it
- to solve the issue, the root causes need to be addressed
Are you getting this? Is it getting through to you at all? Can your pea-sized brain comprehend the very simple fact that to cure a disease, you need to focus on more than just its symptoms?
As for "scuttling all their ships"... whose ships are you talking about? The pirate ships? The fast, well-hidden ones that don't actually fly a pirate flag, and try to avoid exposing themselves?
Or are you talking about all Somali ships? In which case, you mean destroying the livelihoods of thousands and thousands of dirt-poor, innocent fishermen.
