Have I said anything different than that they turned from a left-leaning guerilla in the past to ordinary (and very brutal) criminals today? My point was that the pirates in somalia never have been what Farc was at the beginning - they were local criminals in the past decade, who then turned professional and being hired and supported by the militias and warlords. the warlords are the ones who ruined the country and are responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands over the past 20 years. These masses died of starvation for the most, and the many wars between rivaling warlords. And the West, with every ransom payed, finances these mass murders and criminals, and pays for their new weapons. they should and must be killed and their houses and boats destroyed, their supporters killed and the pirate villages burnt. Not by troops on the ground, we already had that, but by a robust air campaign via carrier, since this is not about invasiona nd conquering, but simpole destruction - and destrioytion alone can be achieved quite well from the air, with no hightech airdefense around. Piracy has been turned into a business now, and it constructs infrastructure on land for future piracy. It influences the way people live so that in the future they depend even more on supporting pirates - and then you will feel even more scruples to fire at those "poor, noble victims of and by the many millions - but Somalia's pirates have nothing to do with them anymore. they are militias and gangsters and fight not for freedom and survival, but their bosses' wealth. Destroy them.
