Somali Pirates: Why “Arrr” They Tolerated?
Is it just me, or is the response to the Somali pirates a bit weak? They have an American Hostage and are demanding money. Yet they are in a little boat (out of fuel I might add) and the Navy is right there, capable of taking them out. But they can’t, because they have the hostage. The captain is clearly a hero. I hope he makes it out okay.
BTW, the french have some pirate problems too. But it looks like they were able to use force. Whoda thunk it, the French with a more forceful response than the US.
