Did you get a load of that Kalashnikov? Also note in 15&16, two Yamahas
on the stern, and a spare in the boat. Not that I would want to install
it in the middle of the ocean.

Harry, you are the biggest bigot here. I've seen you say nothing good
about the south, ever. And the things you say about the south are
ignorant, untrue and makes you look like the bigot that you are.
Oh, and you said something about John's post way before your lover

I'm afraid it isn't as easy or as cut-and-dry as you apparently think.
This isn't the end of piracy, and it isn't the end of piracy against US

I realize that. But it is over for at least 3 pirates. Hijacking boats and
ships on the high seas is a crime that needs the plank. But now that the
ice of killing them is broken, maybe more will defend themselves against the
prirates/terrorists.

The amount of crime is equal to the tollerance for the crime.

We didn't mind destroying the Florida commercial fishing fleet to save
the mullet (fish, not haircut)
If they want to escalate the violence, sink every boat in Somalia if
you have to . It is hard to be a pirate if you are swimming out to the
ships. Let them eat corn. We seem to have so much of it we are burning
it in our cars.




Easier to just blockade Somalia's ports. There are only four ports of
any significance, and these are the ports the pirates use.

The pirates need access to "motherships." Motherships don't come out of
creeks; they need ports.

Station an old destroyer and some fast patrol boats just outside each
port entrance and stop every boat leaving port for inspection. Weapons
aboard? Put the crew on a patrol boat and take them to shore. Blow up
their boat.

Harbor blockades would probably bring on another Clinton fiasco of 1993. He
tried to push his luck following Bush I's humanitarian assistance and the
results were disastrous.

Somehow a means must be worked out to make the purpose of piracy (ransom
money) meaningless.

If they want to escalate the violence, sink every boat in Somalia if
you have to . It is hard to be a pirate if you are swimming out to the
ships. Let them eat corn. We seem to have so much of it we are burning
it in our cars.


Easier to just blockade Somalia's ports. There are only four ports of any
significance, and these are the ports the pirates use.

The pirates need access to "motherships." Motherships don't come out of
creeks; they need ports.

Station an old destroyer and some fast patrol boats just outside each port
entrance and stop every boat leaving port for inspection. Weapons aboard?
Put the crew on a patrol boat and take them to shore. Blow up their boat.


Why not have a sub dump some old torpedoes right into each? Saves recycling
costs and they get practice. Blow the whole port right up.

Please note that Interstate 90 will be closed this weekend across
South Dakota. This closure will allow the Federal Government free
access to haul a 200 ton piece of coal to Mt. Rushmore so that
President Obama can be added to the Presidents on the monument.

Seriously? Because there are perfectly legitimate subsistence fishermen
using those ports, and merchant vessels, too. A harbor blockade could be
very effective.


I understand there is about a thousand miles of beach,all perfectly
suited to launching small boats.

Harbor blockades would probably bring on another Clinton fiasco of 1993. He
tried to push his luck following Bush I's humanitarian assistance and the
results were disastrous.

Somehow a means must be worked out to make the purpose of piracy (ransom
money) meaningless.


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.

Well said.

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

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.

That's why a war is war. Few rules apply and the objective should always be
to beat the crap out of the enemy until there is nothing left to fight. We
learned that in Korea and Vietnam, but still think we can fight half hearted
"wars". It's impossible. Right, wrong or otherwise the "war" part of our
involvement in Iraq was accomplished swiftly and completely. Same thing
with the initial crushing of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

It's when we back off and try to do the nation building **** that it all
comes apart at the seams.

The ships should have the means to defend themselves. It wouldn't take
much to hold off the boats that are being shown in the news.
