You might be right. I have no doubt that the USN can resolve this particular incident, I have a lot of doubt about the political will of Obama to resolve it.

I am more worried about the longer term. The only way to deal with pirates is to attack their land bases and wipe out their resources. Sink their boats. Wreck their docks. Demolish their houses. Hang the perps after a drumhead court martial. Kill their relatives, their goats, people they have lent money to, relatives of the people they lent money to, everyone who is even tangentially involved in this.

Kill their relatives, their goats,

Agreed. If you killed their goats, that would really be a deterrent.
