Get rid of as many Pirate mother vessels or harbours as possible. But dont't let the costs of those actions get out of hand. With coordinated international forces.

Nuke the shit out of Somalia

Apparently they hijacked four more ships and takes 60 people hostage.

best way to get rid of these madmen:

Get them and the Taliban/AlQaeda to fight each other. Both will kill each other off and we'll live hapily ever after.

Put our navy to good use and stick them out there. Our navy is huge... If the pirates take more damage than they make money, then surely they would realize there is no profit to be had. Which is their goal.

ok...in the other thread i talked about bombing the shit out of the country...kill everyone and start fresh.

but i have decided on another possibility. supporting a dictator that believes in eventual democracy and freedom for the somali people, who will ruthlessly crackdown on the entire country.

I say let Britain and Italy take it back, that would awesome in so many ways lol

Neo-colonialism FTW

You're joking right?

Its not like we've done that a few times before... in africa... with it backfiring horribly creating pretty much situations exactly like what somalia is now... right?

Exactly, you cannot back any of those warlords it simply wont work, people tried that before in many countries it only causes more terror followed by Civil War and more bloodshed

Don't send troops. Don't do anything.
