His risk is minimal, the rewards are huge - and there's no punishment for pillaging other people's wealth.

...and, like ACORN, even a HS dropout can give it a try!

And somewhere in the world, there is always a yardarm with the sun over it.

My favorite work by Ralph Peters is “WHEN DEVILS WALK THE EARTH”.
Hanging Pirates is the right and proper thing to do.

"...This week, as a powerful US warship loomed over a bobbing lifeboat, FBI negotiators begged for understanding from thugs who had attacked a ship flying our flag.

The correct approach would have been to lower boats with armed sailors and take the Somalis, dead or alive...."

However we now have a President who believes that terrorism is a matter for law enforcement, courts and civil niceties and that military force should not be used least we look bad in the eyes of the world.

Pirates have NO RIGHTS.
You hang them, period.
Rope or wire it doen’t make any difference as long as they wind up dead.

[culpeper]

It was a rhetorical question, didnt think I had to use a sarcasm tag on that one.

Walking the plank would probably have a greater deterrent effect.

“Ralph Peters says we should hang the pirates. Quality idea.”

Nay, sir: It’s a capital idea!

“I wonder whose side the congressional black caucus is on?”

Need you ask?

[ought-six]

“And hang the folks in the state department, too!”

Do you mean the pirates’ sponsors and enablers?
