True but at some point the fact that Somalia is a failed state that decentralizes its region should be addressed. If Somalia had a working government, there'd be less pirate raids.

wait!
Your idea is to sink all of the ships being held hostage to send a message?

Or are you talking about poking holes in the pirates little boats they use to launch the attacks?

Fuck that, why not just kill every nigga and indian in the world? Would solve these problems since you have no sympathy and call a logical view "extremely left", sounds extremely right?? :upsidedow

My view is extremely left? :eek7

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.

btw did everyone know that ships crossing that region have been dumping there waste off somalia waters and thus these pirates started talking action.... but then some other pirates thought "Hmmmm we can get on these ships easily" and so the story goes
