I'm afraid I have to correct you. The French have been carrying out commando raids for a while, maybe not as immediately dramatic as the Americans but equally gutsy. Unfortunately, the last one just a few days ago didn't go quite as planned and led to a hostage KIA. I don't think the commandos would object if the pirates get hanged at the yardarm for murder.

Regardless, that was an extremely bold play on the US part that paid off. Now, if all hands will brace and stick to the guns when the rather noisy threats of retaliation come, I think the antipiracy mission is in good shape.
