Nothing is as cut and dried as YOUR vision of the world. Read my post ... Piracy in INTL waters should be stopped as far as I am concerned, by whatever means necessary. Is THAT clear enough. I also stated that piracy occuring in the waters of a sovereign nation should be met by sanctions against that nation. Here's they grey part that ideologues of any stripe cannot seem to get their minds around. Much of Somolia is ungoverned. I have no issue with taking out shore facilities or anything else used to support piracy there, and for what it is worth, their loss of fishing grounds may explain the piracy but does not excuse it. Now with some clarity ... you can move on.
