Finally somebody does something about it. Its like the world against the pirates now. It seems they've hijacked ships belonging to every world country, from the mid-east to china to Europe.. eventually they are going to piss the wrong people off. It's not like the world doesn't know where they can be found..

    They don't know where the pirates are found. That is the problem. The Somali coastline is way too large of an area for any effective patrol or military solution. The problem is the underlying issue of poverty and state failure. Until there is security and stability in Somalia we can expect more of the same. Really what does a Somali pirate have to lose? Statistically, they will die at a young age without any prospect of security or legitimate means to economic success. Hopelessness and desparation is a good motivator.

    If Captain Jack Sparrow is one of the pirates, I'll volunteer to go hunt them down!

    Just trying to inject a bit of levity.
