Why doesn't "someone" take them out, whines Europe and the Saudis...someone of course is Uncle Sam....but US remembers the last "pirate" they took out and is staying quiet:
StrategyPage Explains:
That leaves the option of a military operation to capture the seaside towns and villages the pirates operate from. This would include sinking hundreds of fishing boats and speedboats. Hundreds of civilians would be killed or injured. ....
Given the opprobrium heaped on the U.S. for doing something about Iraq, no one wants to be on the receiving end of that criticism for pacifying Somalia. ...--------------------
update: Well, maybe India will step into the gap...
