Just finished reading a nice book on the subject of Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates. I recommend it. It is very relevant to recent and current world events. Besides that, it's a good read.

If I remember correctly the Marines at one point burned a ship or 2 to keep the pirates from capturing them. Then the reinforcements arrived and kicked the crap out of those camel fuccers. If they want to talk sh-t we will be happy to give them an encore performance.
