And when you are that far down with nothing at all, have a government that is corrupt beyond our worst nightmares, have no food, your family is starving, then you will do anything. When there is no work, no schools, no support, nothing, and your brother says, lets do this thing and we will have a million dollars, then it seems they do it. And when you have absolutely nothing, what is there to loose?
Do I have an answer, nope, sorry. But I will not be sailing in that area either.

Words worth remembering when dealing with a host of issues, Iraq, Afghanistan, Native communities here in the great white north etc.

p.s bombing the **** out of the country will no doubt kill a lot of pirates, along with a lot of innocent people struggling to scrape out an existence. I can't quite get past the idea that the lives of innocent people in Somalia are worth just about as much as mine.
Bombing the country makes about as much sense to me as bombing my neighborhood because of the drug dealer living down the street...
And yes there will be people who will miss them, their children who quite possibly will grow up with one goal in mind. Throw a bomb back at the people who killed their family.
