Well if anything, they are bringing the issue into international light. Hopefully some of these countries who are all over the idea of fighting rowboats (im very well aware they don't use rowboats) with destroyers will notice and try to chnange things around there afterwards. What better way to bring attention to yourself than to start stealing multimillion dollar shipments from corporations?

The problem i think is timing.  Had they ramped up piracy a couple years earlier... or really just attacked America...

With the economic crisis now though... It might just be a case of destablize and forget.  Maybe make covert deals with eaisly controllable but corrupt dictators and give them power.

I don't think it ends well... like it might of had it happened when the economies were better.

 

 

Sadly, too true.

I think the Somalians showed the world what kind of people they are when they destroyed their own country, and resisted attempts to rebuild it.



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.

I think you are not thinking too much in that case...
