governments and navies are rendered legally powerless to conduct security operations on the high seas

Time to repeal large chunks of "International Law."

"Farther north, Italian, Greek, Turkish, British, American and Russian frigates and warships were patrolling the Gulf of Aden"

Frigates aren't warships...???

“Now that they have shown they are able to seize an enormous ship like this, it is beyond a military solution. You won’t fix this without a political solution.”

Killing them all and burning their pirate villages and cities to the ground is a good political solution.

Kill enough of them and they will stop. Kill enough of their neighbors and their surviving neighbors will kill the pirates.

the world’s governments and navies pronounced themselves powerless

don't want to soil their hands with actual work.

I say bomb the booty.

Let their coast line burn.

Then see how locals like it.

The ships should be captured and the pirates starved and killed. No exceptions. Locate their command and control infrastructure and wipe them out.

Iranian grain ship seized as Somali pirates hold world to ransom

This is so, what, 1790s! Pirates? Pirates? Funny thing is, so far the pirates have been hitting folks I'm not feeling a load of sympathy for. But c'mon, despots of the world, unite! Strike down these miserable pirates with no remorse! Oh they're big and threaten to bomb Tel Aviv, but where's Achminijad (sic) or Lil' Kim or whoever when there are some real targets to blow off the map?

It appears the time has come to introduce the Somali to the 21st century “Barbary Pirate” drill.

Obviously, Somalia has become a rogue nation by every definition of the word - and a whole barrel of whup ass needs to be delivered....

Time for the U.S Navy to go in and start shooting up somali pirates.
Big difference going after unarmed freighters and having our navy going after pirates sorry butts.

Well since Egypt owns the Suez canal and now some ships are starting to go around rather than through, wouldn’t it make sence for Egypt to arm about a hundred boats and go after this slime? Sorry just trying to be rational here.
