Shiver me timbers!
Coverage in the news of Somali pirates hijacking aid ships led me to look into piracy in general. Turns out, Somalia is pretty bad right now, but there are actual pirates operating all over the world, especialy in the south pacific and around africa.
First off, to hell with Somalia. Stop sending them aid. The World Food Program said it would withold all aid from Somalia unless their ship MV Semlow was released. rumor has it that they also paid a ransom for the ship and it's crew. Last week, another of their ships, the MV Togelow was hijacked, and was released this week, probably after another payoff.
So our aid program, the food that the compassionate people of the world give to help out the people of Somalia who are suffering through a difficult time, this is being stolen, held for ransom, along with the people we hired to take it to your crappy little country? I say cut them off.
And where are they getting the money for all these guns and RPGs? Who are they buying them from?
(this, it turns out is sort of an open secret)
YEP, its the very same nations who try to send food. the US, France, UK, Russia, China, We send guns, then we send food, and complain when they use the guns to steal the food.
So let me revise my earlier statement:
To hell with Somalia, stop sending them guns and ammunition.

Avast, me fellow partaker in windbagism. I think we should cut off al supplies, weapons included, let them kill themselves off, and then feed only the survivors when they are done in a weapons for food program. You turn in all your guns, you don't starve to death. It is to bad those running the world are not armchair philosophers. Oh well.
