There is no "functioning" government, so who's going to bitch other than the
pirates? Do they have a rep in the UN? No? I'd say go in and do the old
Dalek routine.....EXTERMINATE....EXTERMINATE....

We tried that in the early 90's, remember? Bodies of Delta Force operators dragged through the streets of Mogadishu? It did not work out to well, in case you forgot.

Ship at Sea =! Streets of Mogadishu

If the President was on board..... (oh, wait, that's going to generate another thread)

Well, you said "send in the marines" ... what exactly are they going to do on a ship at sea when you're popping pirate skiffs?

Quietly sneaking in from one room to another, taking out the bad guys.
I was actually speaking metaphoricly.

They want the Navy ship to back off. Should they?

Oh, okay, I see what you did there. :up:
