This really annoys the crap out of me! I am VERY happy about what the Indians have done and I congratulate them for being warriors on the right side in the War on Terror. They are brave sailors!
However, there is just NO excuse for Western Navies (including the worlds FINEST Navy, ours!) to not be actively pursuing these Islamic pirates.
To give an excuse that “US Interests are not threatened” is ridiculous as these Islamic pirates are using much of the ransom for funding terrorism.
I say BS. The merchant companies should be paying for their OWN protection (i.e., Blackwater).
I am, for one, delighted that India is stepping up to the plate in its region.
This isnt my territory. I dont want to be responsible.
