Are you trying to say that no Americans should be allowed to go to sea, because it’s their fault if they were attacked by pirates?
They were at least 500 miles from Somalia when they were attacked.
There have been pirate attacks in the Carribean, too. Does that mean no Americans can sail there?
Freedom of the high seas is a basic principle, which we certainly cannot give up. The Navy should have sunk the pirate vessel with the crew on board. But then I suppose Obama would have had them all courtmartialed, like the Haditha Marines. (And that started under Bush!)

There's a section in your city known for muggings, shootings, and rape. So.....do you prudently avoid that section of town, or are you STUPID and stroll through alone on a Saturday night with $100 dollar bills hanging out of your pants?
STUPID people do that.
