Are the United Nations to be blamed for not doing what they ought do: spread some world whealth to the African Continent. Make some states of the Union starve and see what will happen. If it''s not rioting and destruction, it will be piracy and theft. Survival is a more powerful than the respect of International laws designed to protect the filthy riches.

The shipping companies know by now that this is a bad area to travel. All they have to do is hire some snippers and the pirates wouldn''t get close to their ships.

Why don''t any of these ships have weapons or armed security personnel on board? Do they just like being hijacked? I''d love to pick-off some of these skinnys in their little boats. Hire me, I''ll keep your boat safe.
