Finally its come around to us! With over $80 million paid out to pirates in ransoms over the last year, a U.S.-flagged merchant ship has now been hijacked for the first time in over 200 years!!!
Why do we think this is outrageaous??? We have been "asking for it" for quite some time. Ever since our "politically-correct", liberal-thinking philosophy has become the mainstream of American policy, we could have seen this coming!
Is this what we want??... Or are we just too weak-willed, and too busy to speak up?? Either way, pirates (or any such hostage-taking group) cannot be allowed to feel that they can "negotiate" their way into making a living taking ransom money.
We truly must know and realize that the only deterent to such a way of thinking is for them (the pirates) to feel that "negotiation" is simply out of the question and will not work. Then there will not be any! We used to have a policy of "no negotiations with terrorists"!! What happened here??
Sending in the U.S. Navy is certainly pointless when everyone knows we are NOT going to shot them out of the water....hostage or no hostage.
I would say send the Israelis in and you would get some results.
They have a reputation of standing behind their words!
