I humbly suggest that they "do this" because they are hungry and do not feel they have adequate representation within their countries. They do this to be heard.
It probably isn't our place to instill a more representative govt in Somalia, we are free to make the choice to sit on the sidelines and let them work it out on their own. We could have done the same with any number of other crises. We could believe that war is the last option.
We could capture the criminals and try them, in some international court. You know, a targeted retribution to the actual criminals. As I understand it they are on a boat in the ocean, so it shouldn't be too hard to avoid collateral damage.
Or we could just bomb the shit out of them and their country and tell them to shape up. I wonder if that would work. You know, make them cower. Because they probably don't have pride like us americans.
Even better, bomb the shit out of a country that has nothing to do with it. That oughtta work.
Offer them pardons and rehab---piracy is an addictive disease.
