I guarantee he wasn't a fisherman. Somalis are champion goat herders but have historically never been big fans (in large numbers) of the ocean, especially 300 some miles offshore where this happened. It's pretty strange, and the fact that they're ranging further offshore should make for some interesting future events.

If a crewmwmber, I would rather die as the ship was blown out of the water than know this type of activity will continue without end. And there is no end as long as ransoms are paid. At least the deaths would have purpose. As much purpose to the world as joining and dying for any armed force.

The crude will burn, and damage the country worse than any other nation has. The pirates will soon disband the lost and costly cause.

As far as the shipping industry losses. Well it is international waters and when sailing such there are NO gaurentees. Thye could hire small armies for EVERY ship. How costly would that be?
Posted by aword]]> Tue, 18 Nov 2008 08:21:21 -0800 The Stranger We all know that they have funded terrorism throughout the World for years and still do. Looks like the buzzard has come back at their own home. The pirates are part of the same terrorist that they have supported in the past! I think they have gotten their own just desert! Have a big slice of what you have been handing out to the World for years.
Get'r Done!

If you can't depend on pirates, who can you trust?

Certainly less environmentally damaging than letting them leak it all over the East African coast...

elenchos, as long as you do all that wearing a powder-blue neoprene wetsuit, it's okay by me.

I've been wondering if that was a spot of good news in all this discussion about the increase in pirate attacks these days. I can't believe it hasn't been covered by the press.
