If pirating is a problem, and I believe it is, we need to fix the nation of Somalia, not just kill a few criminals.

Thank god this bleeding-heart ideology has not permiated the American electorate.
No, we dont need to invade anyone right now. We just need to "kill all they send."
Your lack of thinking is wonderful.
Genx87 says a few posts down, "only Somalians can fix Somalia."
We need to create the environment for that to happen. That will probably mean bringing the neighboring countries together to put pressure on the Somalia factions and maybe an African peace keeping force so some government can begin to form.
There are millions of Somalis with nothing to lose, and the US would literally have to send the entire Navy to that part of the world to kill all the pirates.
The US needs to kill the pirates that come out to attack ships, but also change the country to get to the root cause of the problem. A US invasion is not the answer, but an African invasion may be.
