Well, even the khat chewing Somali pirates sense weakness in the global community. Pirate attacks surged this year, according to the International Maritime Bureau:
Mukundan [the bureau's director] said the positions of some of the attackers' mother ships were known and called for stronger action to be taken against these mother ships to prevent further hijackings.
Oh, I'm all for "stronger action." Especially if it involves sending the pirate motherships to the bottom--with all hands.
Comrade Karla quips:
Remember, this is just too difficult an issue to deal with and it has no real solution.
