note to UN : Stop the pirates!!

[The Dad Fisherman]

I was just reading an article on this and there certain problems that are hard to deal with in dealing with these pirates.

1st, they are in small boats that deploy from a larger ship that supplies refueling.....think Independence Day.

These Boats, being smaller and a lot faster than the cargo ships, are on them before they even know it. Then if they do get spotted on radar they look just like the 100's of other small fishing boats that are in the area.

2nd, the reason a lot of the Cargo Ships aren't armed is due to the cargo they carry....these guys hit the oil tankers a lot to capture...can't really get into a gun fight while standing on a Gazillion Gallons of explosives.

these guys don't want what you're carrying....they want the ship for ransom. they get a ton of money from other countries to release the ships......

Their biggest mistake here was taking a hostage...they should have just got back in there boat and screwed.
