Violence is the only way. Piracy will continue until it becomes too
dangerous.

About 98% of those who pick up a stick of dynamite, will put it back.
It says " Dangerous " right on it.

Violence only works if you beat the opposition completely and entirely.
Even then, they may recover in time. Chest thumping usually yields nothing
but more chest thumping in return.
There's no middle ground with a lawless society.

The key rests with tribal leaders, just as it does in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Without them, you have no peace.
