Well, I didn't say they didn't act stupidly and without caution. My only point is that they had the right to be there and want to make no mistake about the fact that the Somali pirates are the criminals.
I'll add that despite the spectacle of seeing tomahawk missiles flying off the decks of Aegis cruisers and demolishing buildings in Baghdad, a key purpose of the US Navy is not just to conduct warfare but to ensure that international waters are open for both commerce and security.
