We should invade to enforce that right?
Your Constitutional rights end at the border. And I don't think that anyone has ever said that sailors can't arm themselves.
But let's keep this on pirates, shall we?
Really, I don't see where there's much to be done beyond setting up a task force to watch for pirates. An international peacekeeping force isn't going to be able to accomplish much with no government to prop up, only feuding warlords. Elections are pretty much impossible. The Etheopians have had some success bringing some stability to the southern parts of the country, but that's limited at best. And enforcing the old pirate codes would be distasteful to many of the countries that would normally be called on to do so.
