Re: What to do with these pirates?
Lets go back to the idea of not calling them pirates. They do kinda take some fun out of Talk Like A Pirate Day, yar.

Re: What to do with these pirates?
Very well then, Buccaneers. Which is entirely too expensive for corn.
Anywho, read an article where Obama vowed to "halt the rise of piracy". Sounds very similar to another president I've heard about, but who knows, maybe he'll have more success. The "buccaneers" are after all located primarily in one country, and not hiding, scattered amongst sympathizers, in other neighboring nations.

Re: What to do with these pirates?
Blockade duty really sux. Not because it's hard, but because it's boring and you don't get the feeling of accomplishing anything permanent(because you aren't). But above all don't JUST blockade. You MUST take the fight to them. Destroy their ports. Yes, they will probably just move, but moving would force them to perhaps go into another warlords territory, causing THEM problems.
BTW, an effective blockade requires lots of ships and other assets. So while these assets are there, they may as well be doing something constuctive.......DEstructive, I mean!!

Re: What to do with these pirates?
Well, the remaining Somali pirate has been extradited to the US to face trial for piracy.

Re: What to do with these pirates?
Only one way to deal with pirates, and that's send them to Daveys locker or however u call that. So needless to say that i voted they must die and make it a lesson.
Hang em all.
