Let's talk about pirates...

Well... I think a good way to solve this is by getting our allies around and not paying... These Merchant Marine Organizers have been [aid for so long they are living in multi million dollar houses on the coasts and running part of the local governments... Stop paying and I really dont think the fad would continue

I would be afraid to go on a sailing trip if I knew Pirates were roaming along waiting to kidnap you and get 2 million dollars out of me.....it would be pretty cool to have the US Navy snipers sniping Pirates though while I watch it all............

Why not arm these boats going throug hthere. 4 of them caused this o na boat with over 20 people on it.

And why didnt our snipers take them out way before they did

Weapons are hard to take into ports that arent US... usually they will check them out and can delay a trip for days

They were in an enclosed boat and could not get a shot on all the pirates at once

[TechMan]

they couldnt come out like they did to shoot them

And they didn't want to have to shoot them, they were hoping for a peaceful resolution. The shots were taken because at one point one of the pirates put and AK-47 to the captain's back or head and the SEALs felt his life was in danger, so they took them out.

I used to have one of those when I was a kid. In 7th grade, my school's mascot was the pirates, so I brought it in with me to be displayed in my homeroom. Then somebody stole a bunch of pieces from it. That sucked.

Very True... but they probably would not have put snipers on the back deck unless they felt it would probably end in a shoot out. And i would have to imagine that AK-47 was in the captains back most of the time after he tried to escape.
