Our secretary of state has responded:

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called the deaths "deplorable," and called for "continued international progress toward confronting the shared security challenge posed by piracy."

That oughta put the fear in them!

It will not stop.
70% of the Somalia population agree with the piracy because the pirates maintain what little economy they have.
In a sense the pirates operate very much like our government.
Take from those that work and have and give to those that do not.

I think it would be a great investment to buy a large yacht and put a crow's nest on the mast/sniper position and a couple of MaDueces one fore and one aft camouflaged in squid blue sail cloth and use the whole thing as a floating fun/gun ship.

If you know it's a snake, then you treat it like a snake. And if that snake bites you, you kill the he!! out of it.
Violence is the only thing the know and understand, so speak their language and turn that whole place to glass.

Our Country doesn't seem to have the same interest or willingness to get involved on behalf of US citizens in this type of circumstance like it once did. Gota play nice and use diplomacy you know...
Is there any oil for us to use in Somalia? If there was the Army and Marines would already be there.
