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

Or it just doesn't pay anymore.

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.

We haven't been able to do that in Iraq, and we won't be able to do that
in Afghanistan. Somalia isn't going to go that way, either.
