These are the bad-guys, no matter whose waters they're in and the only way to deter them is to shoot the #### out of them.<br /><br />Fire-hoses and searchlights are no match for AK47s and RPG launchers. What we need, as unarmed sailors going about our lawful business, is the protection afforded by trained security personnel who have the means to sink these evil bastards wherever they may be.<br /><br />I'm sure there'd be a lot more pro-action if the people endlessly talking about piracy and not doing anything about it were violently threatened on their way to work every day as we are..

Perhaps rig a tanker with naval personnel and appropriate protection.  Let these criminals approach the ship and blast them out of the water.  No mercy.  Trust me - the incidents should start to subside after a few deaths.  . Yolie");
