No one at all wants that, especially considering how close to home this may hit for some people. On the other hand, these pirates have already demonstrated that they cannot be trusted in a negotiation sense. An exchange for the captain was suppose to take place before the military got involved.
The pirates are desperate. There is no way for me to imagine the tension of the situation, nor can I imagine the weight of responsibility felt by those negotiating the situation. However, the pirates are sitting ducks and an immediate threat.
An example should be made of them like this Bank Robber that threatened to kill his hostage.

Hopefully someone more educated can help me with something...
This area has been seen for years as a highly dangerous area. Why aren't there armed guards on these ships? Is there an international restriction or something to that effect?
