The article overlooks the most important part about either of the Barbary Pirates war. That the Marine Corps led by Lieutenant Pressley Obannon kicked some butt and solved the problem. Oh, the Navy had a little part in it also. Semper Fi!!! : )

Of course the diplomats stopped O'Bannon and Eaton before they could lay siege to Tripoli with their multi-national force, Arabs and Greeks along with our Marines. They then sold out Eaton and the Bey's brother Hamet, Hamet barely escaping with his life and Eaton dying broke due to unreimbursed debts and expenses of the campaign.
