Death To All Pirates!

That American sea captain was rescued today, with a show of force and no ransom for the pirates. From what I gather, this captain and his crew fought back bravely against the Somalis and the ship was carrying food aid for Somalia when they were attacked. It's crazy that 4 goons with AK-47's can sail out into the international shipping lanes and hijack ships and kidnap sailors for ransom. The Somali pirates are holding 230 people for ransom right now, and piracy is the only growth industry in the failed and shattered nation of Somalia.

The French Navy also killed some pirates recently, when they rescued another hijacked boat and crew, and now the Somali pirates are making overt death threats against any Americans and French that they encounter.
