We can all rest well, since the FBI hostage negotiators are on scene. They have a stellar record..
Sir Hillary says we should fight piracy with 21st century tools.

Pirates do what they do because they did not have male role models while growing up, and they were beaten and raped by their mother's boyfriends. We should create jobs for them, so they would not be forced to to lead lives of crime.

That would tie into S. Freud's Castration Anxiety Theory possibly.
Here's how I feel. What cracks me up is they give into the Pirates and pay the ransom. For the money they're paying in ransom, mount a few 50 cal guns on the ships. Then give the Pirates a warning and open up with the 50's. Or since the USN is already in the area, let the boys practice on live targets. It would break up the day, and make for some good conversations over a few beers. Even the fish would enjoy the treats left in the water after the target practice is over.

Armed thugs roaming the seas are simply a result of gun control on international waters.
Ship delivering humanitarian aid.
Bad United States, bad United States.

How do you do that without a government in Somalia.

Send them money, of course.

Mohamed Samaw, a resident of the pirate stronghold in Eyl, Somalia, who claims to have a "share" in a British-owned ship hijacked Monday, said four foreign ships held by pirates are heading toward the lifeboat. A total of 54 hostages are on two of the ships — citizens of China, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, the Philippines, Tuvalu, Indonesia and Taiwan.
"The pirates have summoned assistance — skiffs and mother ships are heading towards the area from the coast," said a Nairobi-based diplomat, who spoke on condition on anonymity because he is not authorized to talk to the media. "We knew they were gathering yesterday."
Samaw said two ships left Eyl on Wednesday. A third sailed from Haradhere, another pirate base in Somalia, and the fourth one was a Taiwanese fishing vessel seized Monday that was already only 30 miles from the lifeboat.
He said the ships include the German cargo ship Hansa Stavanger, seized earlier this month. The ship's crew of 24 is made up of five Germans, three Russians, two Ukrainians, two Filipinos and 12 from Tuvalu.
Another man identified as a pirate by three different residents of Haradhere also said the captured German ship had been sent.
"They had asked us for reinforcement, and we have already sent a good number of well-equipped colleagues, who were holding a German cargo ship," said the pirate who asked that only his first name, Badow, be used to protect him from reprisals.
"We are not intending to harm the captain, so that we hope our colleagues would not be harmed as long as they hold him," Badow said.
"All we need, first, is a safe route to escape with the captain, and then (negotiate) ransom later," he added.

This is going to be interesting.
Offical response from our government: We must wait and see what the international community is willing to do about these priates.
That's how to take it to them!

Bummer to be a citizen......of another country.....any ship coming in to assist the pirates should be fair game.
This is a pretty minor test of the weasel. Let's see his backbone.

Actually, I think it's because any armed ships are considered paramilitary, or "privateer," vessels and are subject to search at each and every foreign port they visit, which drastically slows down and extends their voyages...
