What would you do if your alone in the hot waters? Quoting: Haile MenelikThis is the punishment for Somalia, the shooting down of black hawk chopper and the vicious display and mutilation of the corpses of US Soldiers back in 1993. The movie, "Black Hawk Down" depicted the people of Mogadishu are animals who vented their anger on the dead bodies of US Soldiers. The International community have abandoned Somalia, and have allowed the war lords to run riot. Who is willing to enter this God forsaken country and help.? |

Only got 1 one of the boats- So now the other boat can loot at will. Typical French...who's not surprised? Even the smallest combatant American, Russian, British and most other navies vessels would have easily killed all the pirates and sunk both skiffs and recovered the weaponry. But not the French... nope! |

If the French had a single ounce of humanity and decency among them, they would have sank their boat and let the pirate die quickly. If they do not sink the skiffs, some other poor bugger will think he should go out and use it to raid other ships. |

That said, if I lived there, and watched toxic waste dumped in the water and foreign ships stripping the area of fish, while I got NOTHING, I'd likely turn pirate too... BUT! Don't believe I'd attack a warship.... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 788585 United Kingdom 10/07/2009 05:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This "Somali Pirates" thing is a fucking tragedy. The whole world has been dumping radioactive and toxic shit in Somali waters, ever since the Somali government ceased to exist. The Somali fishermen, who depend on their catches from the ocean around their coastline, are simply trying to defend their God-given right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The Somali "pirates" are not the people who are in the wrong, here. |
