The real question is why would 4 Americans put themself’s in the middle of Pirate Lane? What idiots would do that?

And quite possibly endanger the lives of our brave fighting men and women during a rescue attempt?

I say throw a harpoon missile at any vessel in the area that might be harboring pirates, and be done with it.

It’s not like they were anchored just off the Somali coast. The pirates are ranging to within sight of India now.

Thurston Howell III, Lovey, Gilligan and the Skipper, too. They thought it would be a three hour tour.

All kidding aside, prayers for their safety.

The middle of the Indian Ocean is a very long way from anywhere.

Their capture only shows the audacity and capability of the pirate state.

I suppose the UN is too busy condemning Israel or raping civilians in Africa to actually take on the pirates.

That’s a legitimate question. While these pirates deserve to be squashed, civilians who naively sail in that area knowing the danger, should kick in to cover the costs of a subsequent rescue. There needs to be some common sense.

Rescue, and then send the bill.
