Although this wasn't an attack on our sovereignty,

What? A US ship on international waters with US citizens aboard? It's an act of war- it ain't robbing a 7-11 as Hillary would like to define it.

The correct response is to attack the province from which these pirates hail, and burn it to the ground. "Next?"

That apparently would have been the case if one of King Abdullah's ships had been hijacked.

...as Hillary would like to define it.

That was the purpose of the nervous giggle/chuckle during her comments re the situation: to minimize its gravity.

It’s not a US ship. It is a Dutch ship with an American crew.

As far as schwacking the province where these people came from, a better plan would be to take out the shipping they use to carry out their piracy. Fewer causalties and collateral damage.
