"Obama's first victory went beyond luck" by H.D.S. Greenway | April 14, 2009
.... An answer could lie in a convoy system for merchant ships, which would make it easier for navies to guard them than with shipping spread out and uncoordinated over vast stretches of ocean. Perhaps an exclusion zone far out to sea in which fishing vessels would be banned might help, as pirates use fishing boats to stalk their prey.
The current situation of pirates getting richer and richer on ransoms, and ranging farther and farther out to sea to disrupt shipping and taking hostages, however, is no longer acceptable, and never should have been.
What's that mean? Bomb them?
