Would a private company with a 'letter of marque' violate international law, national sovereignty by entering to go aftet terrorists

Ron Paul is ignorant of U.S. History. Jefferson used U.S. Navy warships and Marines against the Nation of Tripoli. The best that Letters of Margue and reprisal could do is to supplement the war effort, not be the exclusive alternative to military action.

This moron doesn't even know that we rebelled, in part, AGAINST the British gov't-sponsored pirate corporation known as the East India Trading Company.

As fun as it might sound to fight pirates by hiring other pirates... It's actually quite stupid.

Ron Paul is going to go to the convention, flap his lips, and then Romney's going to get the nomination and do what the banks tell him to. Obama's going to win the general election, because he's about 20% better and sort of gives a shit about people in the abstract, and then he's going to do most of what Wall St. wants anyway.
I always wondered why 90% of the avowed libertarians I ever met were angry white men who had trouble with women.

i dont want an individual who only leads himself/herself. i want a human who has regard for everyone collectively; one who doesnt look back to the 1700s but looks forward to the 2700s.

This is not a good idea. The problem with Letters of Marque it is very difficult to differentiate between pirates and privateers. The difference is between privateers being treated like legitimate military combatants or irregular combatants.
Letters of Marque is simply state sponsored terrorism. They will not help the situation, they will only hurt the situation.
It's amazing, innit? How mere "Common Sense" sounds "revolutionary" amidst all the retards running government into the toilet.

Osama sure wouldn't last long if there was a billion dollar price tag on his head.
