Default Re: Somali Pirates - More than meets the eye

Good point.

If this stuff was happening in American or European waters, the same situation would likely happen. The "pirates" would probably kidnap people and make demands.

When you are backed in a corner, you either fight back or allow yourself to be taken advantage of. The former is always preferable to the latter.

This is to illustrate the plight of the Somalis.
