But analysts say the unprecedented use of weapons by the ship's security force could make things worse in the pirate-infested waters off the Horn of Africa.....

The pirates attack with rocket launchers, and the Israeli security force defends with pistols and water hoses?!
Surely the world can mount a more vigorous defense than that and discourage this plague of piracy.

Yeah, good for the pirates, wouldn't want to disrupt their entrepreneurship. Maybe we can kvetch over how to help them (ie send money) without disrupting their culture (ie piracy).
But analysts say the unprecedented use of weapons by the ship's security force could make things worse in the pirate-infested waters off the Horn of Africa.....
Yes, they should sit passively and wait to be taken hostage or even killed and then listen as the pirates rant on about avenging the deaths of their fellow pirates killed when the hostages are rescued. Yeah, that seems best. /major sarcasm
