Is it possible that the pirates would stop if Obama publicly apologized for some past grievance on our part? Maybe they just dont understand that with Obama as president we ALL are citizens of the world now. Maybe some sort of sensitivity training would help. Or he could tax the merchant ships to pay off the pirates like we do with criminals in the US Cities. Good old fashioned redistribution can fix anything.

There must be a misunderstanding here. All people are good, except maybe racists/sexist/homophobes like conservatives, Christians, white males and Tea party protesters, ...and CEOs, unless they own green companies like Gore.

See how easy it is ?? :)

I think it's possible to deter them. They can't be completely stopped. Not in this age. Unfortunately, piracy PAYS...big time. If Commanding Officers on naval vessels which catch them started summarily executing them and documenting it and publicizing it well, that would be a good start. But with our current leadership it's a lot like spitting in one hand and wishing in the other. Guess which one is going to fill first? :-)
