Re: lets see how obama handles this
Um, no you can't just blow boats out of the water. You have to know that the boat in question is that of the pirates. I think the problem they have in dealing with the pirates, is that the ships, by law, are not armed for defense. Arming them would mean that there'd be fire fights on shipping vessels. So that's a no-go. Doing commando style raids could maybe work, but that might cause the pirates to use different, more aggressive, and violent tactics, to show that they mean business. As it is right now, there are few injuries to any of the captives, and the fear may be that to aggressive a course could change that. Personally, I'd pay these people in counterfeit dollars, with a tracking device, and then blow them to kingdom come when they pull away from the ship. That, and/or I'd try to identify the pirates, and attack them on land with gun ships and commando's.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897
