I'm not excusing pirates for taking ships or killing folks, but they are pirates. Stop fucking sailing around there. I understand cargo vessels, but liesure cruising or sailing??? You're kind of asking for this.

It's painfully clear that there will be no fixing this issue without resort to something brtual against either the nation of Somalia, or the pirates that are captured. I would make use of the fact that anyone committing a crime against humanity caught in open water is not entitled to any right or priviledge enjoyed by an American citizen. I would torture them relentlessly in an effort to find and captureas many as possible. They can negotiate for an immediate death by surrendering information useful in capturing more pirates. Or we can tie them to a mast and let them slowly die of exposure, then toss them in the sea.

Barbaric, but there is no peaceful solution with people of this nature.

As tragic as this is, I agree with Alz. Sailing your own pleasure boat in proximity of the Arabian penisula with the intent of distrubuting a cargo hold full of bibles might be the dumbest idea since turkey sausage.

This would be wise. If you need me I'll be hiking suspiciously in Iran. What could be better?

Running a marathon through the streets of Tripoli.

I concur with Darth. The Gulf of Aden is bordered by a handful of failed states and that area is the most dangerous part of the world for military ships. What were these people possibly thinking sailing into that? Good grief.

They're religious zealots. There is no rationale thought involved.

I nearly spit camel milk all over my Qur'an reading this. Happy jihad to all.

Not to be outdone, a family of Dutch decided they would sail the East African seas.

They are now captives.

GOD PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS, STOP SAILING OUT THERE!!!!
