The Red Brick Times

Want to "combat" (wink wink) Somali pirates? Your choices:
1) Approach the U.N. - Nah, they'll just write a "strongly worded" letter.
2) How about NATO? - Nope, not really their cup of tea.

If you're serious and want action (ie. money) there's only one place to go. K Street! An investment that always pays off.

As cool as sniping three guys from the deck of a ship in rolling seas is it is ultimately impractical as a general solution. Enhanced military approaches will have the same effect overuse of antibiotics has in creating drug resistant viruses and will soon come to appear more like spotlighting deer than high-end Special Ops.

Want to stop piracy, stop eating fish. Motorized foreign fleets have raped the fisheries off the Horn of Africa putting the local fishermen out of business. The land and government are worthless so they turned to the next most abundant crop.

The approach described in the article has a better chance in the long run than any ships and guns solution
