well, it sure as hell isnt chickens stealing boats and kidnapping people off the somali coast. I dont think bombing the country will do anything at all to stop the problem. Blockading them and refusing to allow any boats at all to pass the 12 mile line would solve the problem. That would cause some hardship for fishermen but that is the price they would pay for harboring pirates.
It wouldnt take long to fix things either. Start intercepting boats, take the crew off, sink them, and return the crew to shore with the message that the same thing will happen to any and all boats that put out of Somalia and go more than 12 miles offshore.
The US Navy was invented in the first place to deal with problems exactly like this one.
