Haradrel, What do you think SHOULD be done? Do you think because they don't hurt the hostages, they should be paid off? I understand they have little industry in their country and they feel that they are FORCED to to this to make money, but by the same Token, they can use the boats for fishing and make money. It just seems to me they are too lazy to work hard and make something out of their own country, and it's much easier to put gun in someone's face and take what others have worked hard for.

I understand it's hard for them to make a living. Life is not easy in Somalia, but they DON'T have the right to steal. I'd like to help them make their country great and civilized, but THEY have to put in the work. If that were the case, then why have cities and civilization? Just wait until someone makes industry and steal from them.

When you say there's no simple solution, do you mean to Somalia? Or to end the Piracy?
