Kyle March (FGCU) Pirates in 2009?

In the last week alone there has been two seperate events of pirate attacks on American ships. My whole life I have never heard of pirate attacks unless it involved Johnny Depp or Captain Hook, but the two in the last week was eyeopening to me. First off I question the intelligence of these so called pirates. I mean you can not just disappear into the sea and hide from society like they used to back in the days. I mean did they really believe that the Unitewd States would give up 2 million dollars in exchange for one life, even when we had our Navy surrounding the captured ship? Even if they did get the money, do you think that our military would just let them disappear and leave unharmed? Hell no. Wheteher they went back onto land or remained at sea, I am sure we would bring those pirates to justice. But this money making way or piracy would not still exist, if they had not been successful in the past…but all good things need to come to an end.

Piracy is a form of terrorism in my eyes, and there should be no tolerance on these terrorists.

“We sent out 14 boats full of well-armed men, and we are looking for vessels of U.S. and French nationals,” said Hassan Mohamud, a pirate leader based Gara’ad in Puntland, a semi-autonomous Somali region with a long coastline along the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden.

Is that not a person deliberalty saying that they are out hunting for Americans? I mean are they really made at Americans because we saved a citizen of ours from those pirates? Hell if they want problems, let’s prepare ourselves for those problems. Our sailors and fishermne or whoever else may be threatened by pirates should be given the right to carry automatic weapons on board their boats. there is no need to risk any lives, not even one, so maybe we whould prepare ourselves for these terrorists and put them where they belong.
