for the first time, private security on a commercial vessel shot and killed a Somali pirate. immediately there is hand wringing. is this ok, who has jurisdiction, etc. it is unfortunate but if the world community thru and entity such as nato or such, wont shut these guys down, then owners are within there rights to do what is necessary to protect the lives and property aboard their vessels. yes shooting bullets should be the last step; but still a legitimate step.
this is a joke. there is a whole economy based on piracy and we are doing dip. its just like the Barbary pirates which we ultimately sent in the marines. we should not put ship owners in this position. it is interfering with world commerce and the world needs to intervene

history channel ran a great documentary on the 4 seals and somali pirates incident several months ago. when is the world going to wake up with these thugs...it's kill or be killed. nothing more, nothing less.
