"...These days, there is no question of a bombardment of the port of
Eyl, the main pirate base on the Somali coast. That might be the most
effective response but it would require a UN Security Council
resolution.

There is a resolution (1838, passed in October) which authorizes the
use of "necessary means", meaning force if need be, to stop piracy in
international waters. There is also another resolution (1816) which
allows anti-pirate operations within Somali waters, but only with the
agreement of the Somali transitional government...."

I watched a discussion on one of the cable news networks regarding this
issue. Apparently the Somali "pirates" are basically a renegade group who
have no allegiance to any government or laws. They don't even consider
what they are doing as breaking a law because they don't have any laws to
break.

hmmmmm.

Now that makes sense. How can you break a law, when there is no law to
break?

Marvel concept.

Exactly. They are merely "sharing the wealth".
