Does this mean you would rather that he spend our hard earned tax money on military operations that India seems ready, willing and able to perform effectively? We need for Europe to carry more of the burden of defending itself,..... Bravo to India.

I would prefer that India do exactly what they are doing, they have the right and responsibility, bravo indeed.

I would also prefer for this to be done earlier with leadership and encouragement from the United States, as India and the US have common interests here.

Overall it is cost effective for the United States to efficiently combat piracy on a worldwide basis, in coordination with responsible foreign nations like India. Cheaper in the long run.

yes!!! but India also want to shed some responsibility from its shoulders as its resources are far more stretched due to vast sea shore ,it got to keep its tab on china and pakistan too . Countries like south africa and middle east should come forward but they are all hesitating to get their act together under UN flag too.
