I think we are only going to put a halt to the piracy when we sacrifice a
few hundred hostages held in Somalia and drop some huge conventional bombs
on the home areas of the pirates. Let god sort out who gets to go to heaven
and who goes elsewhere. Make the penalty huge for piracy. We will not do
it because of the collateral damage but that is probably one of the only
ways to stop the pirates. Most of the ones we kill are minor players. Not
the chiefs who are taking 80% of the ransom. Or figure out who the chiefs
are and destroy there home area.

So, it's ok to kill a bunch of innocent civilians? I guess there's no
reason to believe that most of these pirates are just acting out of
economic reality. The ultimate solution is a better economy in the
region.


$100m ransoms are not basic subsistence in a country where the average
annual income is about the price on an I phone.

Some day we will be asking "where is the money going"?

...OR ...

... We may be standing over another smoking hole in the ground and
know where some of it went.


Huh? Your solution is to bomb Somalia?


Try to keep up, I am the guy who wants to profile the mother ships and
sink them.

I still think this is a lot more serious than a few people being
killed or kidnapped. Have we ever really figured out who is getting
this money and what they are doing with it? They are certainly not
****ing it away on hookers and beer.


Exactly, that's not "Somali" money, that's AlQueda money. There isn't
enough to buy in Somalia for them to ask for that much...
