I understand the arguments about ‘how would you feel if it was your son/daughter/relative held there and everyone wanted to just blow it all up” and I sympathize.
But sympathy is the pirates best weapon against us. Just like Muslims and the human shields they use. Until someone/country goes back to the days of old, rediscovers testecular fortitude and levels these pigs once and for all, they will just continue to take more hostages.
The people responsible are the pirates and muslims, but lately I blame the excuse makers more.
Since Somalia is where some of these pirates have escaped in the past (with or without hostage ship) India is smart to be ready and waiting there. I could hardly blame India if it happened to catch and track some other pirates (if not these) on the way back and then it blew their land based nest to smithereens. That would send a tooth jarring message to the pirates.
