Very good article -- I took history but I don't recall hearing this, at least from this perspective. Thanks for the post.

Actually Algerian piracy didn't end until the French Army invaded and occupied Algeria in 1830. The Brits attacked Algiers in 1816 but they just started up again. BTW, Jefferson wrecked the American Navy with such drastic budget cuts that we didn't have a single ship of the line (battleship) at the start of the War of 1812. He thought harbor gunboats would be good enough.

Like knowing that a central bank would be the death of our republican experimant the founders seemed to have the right answers about a lot of things. Maybe we should take a lesson from them.
