Negotiating with pirates, is like negotiating with Islamo-fascists and Communists. Send in Jimmy Carter...he will handle them just fine.

If we back off, it means Mr Harpoon is coming for a visit.

That would probably be like a walk in the park for them.

I wonder how the Royal Navy would have handled this in the days of “wooden ships and iron men?”

Let’s just sign the LOST treaty and let the UN handle it. They’ll probably just put the pirates on several committees to bring them over to the right side.
The Human Rights Committee, the Anti-Slavery Committee, and the Safe Passage at Sea Committee would probably be suitable.

I like the witty solution of quickly bringing over some ROK ninjas to take out the pirates. Thus the headline could be “South Korean soldiers save North Korean ship from pirates.”

I’m pretty sure those Pirates are Muslims. Barbary Wars the sequel?

The death penalty is cruel and unusual. Take them out into international waters and keel haul them.
If they survive then let 'em walk the plank and they can swim home. Of ourse, the terretorial limit is 100 miles.....

I've said before, and say it again: time to reintroduce the Q ship and rid the seas of modern pirates.
Here is an example, the USS Big Horn:![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/05/USS_Big_Horn.jpg/300px-USS_Big_Horn.jpg)
# Armament: 5 × 4 in (102 mm) 50 single purpose guns, 2 x .50 caliber (12.7 mm) machine guns, 5 x Thompson submachine guns, 5 x sawn off shotguns

Treating terrorist pirates like that might be considered a war crime.
