Let's not forget that the pirates still hold 100 hostages from previous raids.
It is annoying to me that the US is seen (by our politicians) as required to police the world. We should only be protecting our interests.
It would be significantly cheaper and more effective to place an armed security force on US flagged ships than to have battleships aimlessly patrolling over a million square miles of ocean.
I would like to see those pirates with their AK-47s and 15' tin attack boat try and board a vessel that has 2 sharpshooters and 2 other security personnel.
