re: we can declare war?

Problem is there's no one to declare war on! They've a real catch-22 there in that there's no government so there's not a party on whom to declare the war.

We can (should) declare war on pirates and those who harbor pirates, just like declaring war on terrorists and those who harbor them.

Then, perhaps we call it “Open Season”?

Yes, Somalia is a criminal non-state. My suggestion is that we send an aircraft carrier and marine expeditionary ship loaded with attack helicopters.

Range up and down the Somali coast; “visit” every harbor, cove, inlet and wharf. Anything that floats, sink it. No boats, no pirates.

I think we could sink any boat that leaves Somali territorial waters.
