They have 2500 ships a year from which to pick. They have little to
lose by escalating. The ship crews, owners and those using their
services have plenty to lose.

Rec.boats gun toatin' swashbucklers should volunteer to jump on a ship
and fend these dang "pirates" off. Maybe this'll give some NRA
members a chance to employ their arsenals.

Now that is the best suggestion I've heard in here this year.
We'll send JohnnyPrepH first and see if he holds up.

You left off a zero.

"The Gulf of Aden, which links the Suez Canal and the Red Sea to the Indian
Ocean, is the shortest route from Asia to Europe and one of the world's
busiest shipping lanes, crossed by more than 20,000 ships each year."

Unlike fools, I wouldn't whack a hornets nest until I had a
well-thought-out plan.

One that included helping Somalia protect their fishing grounds, help
them police and prevent illegal dumping of nuclear and toxic waste
off their coast, diplomatic outreach to tribal leaders and a
comprehensive plan that'd keep pirates wondering which boats were
armed.

Then I'd recruit Marshalls who understand how to protect vessels and
crew and handle conflicts at sea.

You and your friends would be used as decoys.

Well, your plan may be putting the cart ahead of the horse. Somalia has
territorial boundaries, but it has no real government. It is an
incredibly poor piece of earth on which to base a country, mostly
desert, not much arable land. Why...we'd have to pacify the entire
country and then...nation build. Considering the horrors of Iraq, I
don't see much support for that sort of activity.

A great number of the world's nations would have to initiate and support
a nation building effort there for decades to get Somalia rolling, We've
blown two trillion dollars on Iraq, and I wouldn't bet a dollar on that
nation surviving after our departure, no matter when our departure was.
What could be accomplished in Somalia?

Virtually nothing, as Bush I and then Bill Clinton found out.
But meanwhile the piracy will continue. It's a tough one and unfortunately

Well, I did suggest blockading its ports. There aren't many of them. We
could check every boat entering and leaving every port, removing
weaponry where we find it, taking crews off boats where we find weapons,
and then blowing up their boats and returning the crews to shore. This
could be a multinational task force of blockaders...one destroyer
outside each port, supplemented by armored, fast, armed patrol craft.

My only concern is keeping the peace. The tribal leaders are the key
but the rest of the world needs to stop poaching their meager
resources and stop using their coastal waters as free dumping grounds
for illegal waste.

Somalia is not really a country. Is 3 tribal areas thrown together for
governing purposes by the Italians. Maybe split it back up in to the former
tribal lands and tell each tribal leader, that if his tribe condones piracy,
the rest of the world will kill you the leader. And the next leader also,
if you do not get the message.

Ooooo, a chance to shoot at colored folk. Maybe he could recruit
other rec.boats bigots to join in. Leave the pointy hats at home,
this is a federally sanctioned event!


I wouldn't put it that way, white pirates should be included.

Say a cruise ship with high speed boats. Open season on pirates (any
color). Boats with machine gun mounts instead of trolling motors. No bag
limit. 7 days of shoot the pirate. All the bullets you need. If you bag
10, you get your cruise paid for! We have radar and satillite for a quick
find.

I wouldn't hit one with a stick. They make special cans of bug killer
especially for wasps and hornets. Sends a solid stream not a short

but whatever.

They were wasting tea in a demonstration against wasteful spending.

It's a hoot that they've taken a historical event and turned it inside
out. The Boston Tea Party was a demonstration against the British
sending tax-free tea to the states in an effort to undercut domestic
tea that carried a tax.

The kicker is teabaggers bought Chinese tea to waste. Neither metaphor
nor logic can be considered GOP strong suits.

I thought the whole event and its sponsorship by Faux News hysterically
funny, a kind of booby prize/party held for the Republicans who got beat
to crap in last fall's elections. It's too bad the GOP has no
candidates, no idea, no plans, and if it keeps going the way it has
been since November, no future.

It's sad really. They could be picking themselves off the floor and
looking for ideas that would help our situation and energize people to
again consider their party.

Their well has obviously run dry and whomever has any good ideas is
definitely not floating to the top or getting any notice.

The FNC endorsement of TEA was its death knell. Drained it of any
authenticity or reason to be taken seriously by anyone outside the
bubble. They were too stupid to understand the negative affect of
their participation. The only thing they care about it ratings and
keeping their ill-informed base watching.
