-In the last week, Somali pirates have killed four Americans, sparking renewed demands that the U.S. take more aggressive action against the oceanic outlaws. In 1801, Thomas Jefferson got fed up with pirates along the Barbary coast and sent the Navy to bomb Tripoli, says Jeffrey Gettleman at The New York Times. Is it time for the U.S. to once again stamp out piracy by force?
I can't believe I live during the high times of piracy. Like there hasn't been more pirate attacks in a year than there was in 2010. Just wrap your head around that one for a second. These aren't your everyday run of the mill pirates either, these bitches are ruthless. Why does it always gotta be the USA that wipes out pirates? Can't the UN step up and rid the planet of terrible sea-faring pirates? That would make more sense. If your boy Barack wants a statue like Thomas Jefferson over here then he damn better start bombing these pirates hard and fast. And one piece of advice to your average American Citizen, if you don't have to go to Somalia or even near it, why don't you do everyone a favor and stay far, far away. Save us all one big giant headache.
