[Who would sail a ship in pirate infested waters without being armed?]

It is maritime law. Apparently, we follow them and the pirates don’t. Go figure.

Why would you follow maritime law when sailing in pirate infested waters? Nobody else does!

Do we have a naval air arm that could get there within an hour or so? If the ship is under American control, can a chopper land on the deck? Seals or Marines could be on the choppers with zodac’s and move quickly to the pirate vessel.

Poor response by the Obama Administration. The crew must have known they were on their own and Obama would not or could not help.
