Pirates and reality (warning nothing romantic here)

[Cyberman]

Has anyone been following the Pirates of Somalia in the news?

(Yahoo news list on the pirates and piracy from Somalia)

Somali Pirates demand 35million.
Peace keeper Attacks in Somalia.
52 Somali's dead trying to escape.
Hijacked Ukranian Frieghter Ransom Request.
My opinion aside (I won't say what I think should be done with pirates until a few replies hit this message first).

The home buyers just signed the paperwork that corporate america drew up, without reading the fine print. Now everyone pays for the greed (my 401k's taken a very nice hit too) *end thread derail*
