I'd like nothing better than to see the pirate's home-town leveled to the ground. BUT, don't forget, they have some 200 or so hostages held there, as protection. Any attack on the town to result in those hostages being murdered.
We can hope there will be another miracle freeing of those hostages - but that will likely be far more difficult to accomplish.

Of course. I was just being jubilant and forgot for a moment. So what do we/world do about this? Some military guy just came on Fox and said this won't deter the pirates, due to odds being in their favor of success versus an occasional failure.
