If we start treating the open sea like some pirate’s personal fiefdom and condemning Americans who sail the open sea as being stupid and wrong, think of what freedoms we give up
Where next to tell American sailors to avoid? Coasts of Central and South America? Coast of Asia? Java Sea? Carribbean?
How is this any different than allowing the TSA to grope your privates as a condition of being allowed to travel on an airplane? Better still, how the Feds are posting large parts of AZ as “off limits” due to drug traffic? I know, let’s just capitulate any time someone decides to take a piece of us. It’s safer don’t you know!

Exactly. Be my guest and lead the way.
