Paul there so much a part of me that wants to scream, 'Right on!'

The main thing one has to remember is Somali is failed State. With that said, doing air strike and special operation raids will only give them a wild card, and really they have shown they will used it in the past.

Ironically it has taken away of the piracy that still continues in some of the Pacific Sea lanes and they are much more vicious. Just amazing the stories the Insurance Companies want to make public. At least with this option the cargo and for the most part the people are making it to there final destination. Where as out in the Pacific the stuff usually ends up on the black market.

Just some thoughts.
