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

 

Well ignorance in international relations definately is not an answer, world should do something to help somalia Stabilise, ignoring it will only fuel the problem.

 

World did ignore Rwanda Crisis or Second Congo War and millions of people have perished. And that could've been stopped. People complain about entering Iraq when in those countries attrocities were commited on ridicilous scale and no one did anything.



When other countries had their ships held for ransom, they simply paid the ransom. But when an American ship gets held for ransom, LET'S FUCKIN' INVADE THEM!!! Somalian pirates are a threat to worldwide interest, and just because America has the largest military budget doesn't mean we should have to everything everywhere.



 

 

lease our military to escort big ships.
make money and get rid of "damn pirates".

Obama made the right decision to order the hit of those pirates via SEALS. A larger Naval presence in those waters will help to deter and send a message to them in the long run.

I'm going in the Navy this summer and honestly can't wait to get in on some of this action.



Well if you want the combined navies of the world to actually be able to do something in Somalia the laws of the sea will have to be relaxed. Currently I believe they legally have the check their papers before they can engage a pirate vessel. Thats just not going to work.



Actually come to think of it I think we should board their ships and take their booty...

ARRRRRRRRR

You don't need anything bigger then a PT boat to take out the pirates. A 25mm machine gun would make quick work of them.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

They want us out of their waters because we're doing illegal things there that are destroying their economy and their food source. Maybe we should stop fucking with Somalia? Just a thought.
