hard to know what to say about pirate news


Hello all,

Thoughts and prayers for the all the hostages and their family members of the pirates all over the world. History teaches that piracy is a brutal act of terror and those effected by it are scared for life.

Few other "crimes" of terror encompass the sadness associated with piracy and to treat it as anything less than a act or war and rape against a nation and person and their family is truly sad.

Anyone who compares it to a "business opportunity" is sadly lacking the historical knowledge to understand and make opinions on this matter, much less have anything to do with formulation of National naval policy against piracy.

  1. This is truely a sickening story. A dingy standing down the U.S. Navy, unreal. You think it would have lasted this long if this happened under Reagan? Hell no.
