Theft is theft, piracy is piracy, regardless of the income level. I can't weep for a rich person being robbed, but I can weep for fisherfolk.

An international coalition should take whatever steps are necessary to end piracy (as much as you ever can) where ever it rears its head. The Caribbean, the Malacca Straits, the Horn of Africa -- where ever and using whatever means are needful.

Yes, I'm sorry for the Somalis and the other poor folks, but this is done by warlords and bandits and not by the poor sod plowing dusty ground. You don't think the POOR get any of the loot, do you?

Robin Hood this ain't.

And I wouldn't worry about sinking a few of pirate ships.....
