Do you (or anyone else with the "fix Somalia" mantra) have any realistic an logistically sound plan of action?
Also, do you
honestly think that if your plan works, and Somalia becomes an economically and civilly stable nation overnight, that the "pirates" are suddenly going to become law-abiding citizens and be satisfied working some menial job for an hourly wage, when they are used to getting millions for a couple of days work?
If these "pirates" were raiding ships and stealing food and supplies in order foe their families to survive, then I might have an once of compassion for them. But instead they are holding corporations hostage for more money than I'll ever see in my lifetime. They are terrorists, and should be treated like any other terrorist.
