There's a reason for my US-centroism. The US Navy is only obligated to protect and defend US-flagged ships and that's all they SHOULD protect.
Don't talk rubbish , read your constitution and understand your navies obligations under the law of nations .
Then you will perhaps understand the obligation your navy has from which there can be no derogation .

So on a side note , any thoughts on the French skipper who died in the rescue attempt .
Was it the pirates or a stray shot from the French that killed him ?
Or given that it appears his reason for ignoring the warnings was that he thinks the government was lying to him did they perhaps just shoot him for being stupid ?
I wonder if his wife still holds the view that piracy around Somalia is just a myth that is hyped by the media to stop people from having the freedom to travel .
