Me too. When it comes to piracy on the high seas? No mercy. There is no point negotiating with pirates, it just encourages them and enriches them. I would also quietly equip numerous vessels with hidden military forces like the WWII Q-ships and use them as bait and then exterminate those bastards when they pull alongside until they collectively decided on an easier and safer means of earning a living.

All you need is 15 or 20 commandos, well-armed and waiting on the ship of choice.

Considering the ridiculous amount of money that is pumped into futile efforts like the Iraq war, I think some could better be allocated to wipe out piracy.
