Shipping Route Changes Because of Pirates

Recent pirate attacks have some shipping companies rethinking their routes. Some are now going around Africa, adding time and expense. There have been at least nine attacks in the past 12 days off the coast of Africa. (Nov. 21)

Piracy was a crime 800 years ago and is still a crime. Why can´t the countries of the world deal with it with a bullet right in the middle of the eyes of the pirates?

If the USA seals were able to kill those pirates two days ago, other countries affected by this crime can do the same.

It is overdue. Governments need to be firm. Kill first and ask questions later. That is the rule to follow. It does not bother me one bit !!

arm every ship, warn every intruder they will be shot on the spot. Blow all terrorist pirates out of the waters.

@TheMichelle60 - I'll need to brush up my French to read that right, but it sounds revolutionary in theme.

@randomlaughingman : pour trouver une solution, il faut savoir qui sont ceux qui leur vendent les armes , les moteurs puissants , pour faire court , qui sont réellement les personnes que ces pirates enrichissent.Certainement pas eux .La misère est une chose, mais l'ignorence en est une autre.

C'est quand même incroyable qu'en 2010 nous constatons que le civilisation est entrain de reculer! Est-ce pour cela que sont morts 50 millions de personnes durant la dernière guerre mondiale?

look how many morons there are leaving comments here. u can tell a mile away they are brats whose dads program them to think they're some great guy cause they work with noisy polluting technology, or think they are keeping anything good in the world going by participating in evil industry - when it's actually a spiritual perversion of what human civilisation should be like.

complete wastes of timespace the lot of them.

The oceans belong to all the countries of the world. Ships from other countries are fisihing in international waters. They are not stealing anything form anyone ! ! ! !

Now, if the USA or any other civilized country invaded Somalia, I would be the first one to condemn that action. But the oceans, the waters and its fish belong to the entire world. It's called ''international waters'' for that reason.
