there u go playin the victim card not surprised at all. i kno they don't care about somalia and i am not justifying their actions. piracy started because of pollution though. also you said the could have complained it to the international community but they actually did complain to the UN and got ignored. i am really done with this useless argument because i kno u don't want to hear the truth u just want to hear wat makes u feel good and sorry i don't have any good news my friend

The U.S. has been running operations in the Horn of Africa (HOA) for years. The government knows more than any of you and know what to do and how to do it. The thing is perception. Now after this and if another high profile American ship taking specially if there are casualties, gives the American Gov. the green light to do what they want to. So many people in these sights are so misguided is un believable, keep listening to Beck, and Limbaugh, and Savage wtf do they know. Ratings that is it.

Look any country that has no viable resources, or industry, capital, or any infrastructure will do what it has to to raise money. You have to understand also these pirates are being ran by some one in power. DO you think that they are the ones making the demands, come one if you think that then that shows your intellectuality. These guys see maybe a 1/1000 of what is asked for by the true leaders of these escapades. You can't lead with out power and money that is a fact....cont

And the MEDIA HAS REPORTED ABOUT THE POLLUTION. Even if that was the cause there are more diplomatic routes to take. THE GOVERNMENT of somalia should have had there law enforcement police the area and file a complaint to the international community. THIS IS THE ROLE OF A CENTRAL GOVERNMENT.

Your so quick to condemn the US, and support the pirates without looking at the facts.

The US acted as they should the Somalian government should do its part. It cant even police its own citizens

[3star2nr]

dude with all due respect I dont think you understand what your talking about at all.

Pollution was just an excuse to start the piracy it doesnt legitamise what they are doing. Dont get it twisted this has NOTHING to do with standing up or some ideological fight. Those pirates dont give a fuck about somalia, All they care about is the dollar.
