I too support military strikes against these guys. We need to send a message of cruise missiles and bombs to these guys and reduce their speedboats to matchsticks.
We also need to get a LOT more multinational armed patrols in the area. Maybe even set up a "no trafic zone" where any vessel under a certain size will be terminated on sight.

wasting cruise missiles on tiny nutshells worth 100 $US only is a waste of money. As I said, CAS with FFAR and autocannons would be sufficient. eventually a Hellfire for those tough guys raising their RPGs at helicopters. One should get a deal with the Americans that they station one of their helicopter-carriers in the area and establish a pattern of area-covering air pastrols. Ships and nations trafficking through the area could be taxed, like a toll station on the highway. I do not see why America should pay for such an operation alone.
