Richard Nixon, during the Iran Hostage Crisis, offered these words for then. Pres, Carter, “Never negotiate with a terrorist.”

As we see, FBI efforts to negotiate a resolution are empowering the pirates to bring in reinforcements. Talking to them makes them bolder.

We need to stop any ships from entering the area, and just let these animals sit there in the enclosed boat until they have to come out.

This the problem with terrorist acts are treated as "criminal acts", rather than "acts of war or aggression" (to be answered by American military might, NOT the FBI beyond our borders) and this was the whole fallacy of the Clinton Administration which built up alQaeda in order for them to smack us early on in the Bush Administration (and Clinton did everything to try to pull that docu-drama off the air, remember?)...

Same foolish policies are now in play, the same disastrous results are going to occur.

DAMN are these people as dumb as a bag of hammers, and dont know ANYTHING about how the real world works out there.
