WOW, Pirates capture ship

yeah i read about that off the bbc. There's been a rash of those recently. I wanna know why in 2008 there are still pirates capturing ships.
 
I would give my views on Somalia but they would be very unpopular and start a political discussion. The short answer to why piracy is so big there (pretty big near china too) is weak government and weak organized military..
 
Sadly, there is only one way to prevent this from happening again and again. Just no one wants to do what is necessary to stop this activity. I had hoped the Russians would have stepped up when they took one of their ships, but, alas...nothing. Lets see what happens with the tanker. IF they keep getting $$$ for doing this, they will keep up their activity. Lets hope the crews get out of this safely.
 
Yeah, I watched a special on modern day pirates a few weeks ago. Its pretty scary, they have even tried (and possible successed I cant remember) to take cruise ships.
 
Nuke 'EM!!!

Well, yeah, I was trying to be a bit more diplomatic. We know where they are based, no reason for that place to continue to exist? Game over.

yep, pirates still exist, albeit for largely political reasons now and not to capture some booty ;)
 
These guys are all about the booty, don't usually hurt anyone, just want the $$$. Sounds like the world powers need to get together and put their special forces to use and squash them like a bug.
