And the Treaty of Tripoli was an appeasement treaty. BTW, for anyone who’s interested, PBS is running a show on Islam right now.

Here's a great book I just read on subject:

The Pirate Coast: Thomas Jefferson, The First Marines, and the Secret Mission of 1805 (Hardcover) by Richard Zacks (Author)

Eaton, a great patriot & hand picked leader of the first covert mission of our country was sold out by the State Department in that Treaty of Tripoli.

Jefferson also sold out Eaton when he finally returned home after his efforts against the Tripoli pirates.
