Oh, I see now - this is the start of the war on piracy as you stated in the OP, but with no end.
To deal with or end a particular unpleasant or undesirable situation or condition is what my dictionary says on war in this usage...
I'd say it was more of an attack on piracy...
[intrans.]make an aggressive or forceful attempt to score a goal or point, or gain or exploit an advantage.
Aggressive attempt to exploit an advantage.... that's what the poll should ask as to whether you're in favour of or not.
