BREAKING NEWS: 4 Americans Abducted by Somali Pirates Have Been Killed

There is no such thing as "Somalia's Government".

I honestly couldn't care less for your opinion on Somalia's government. Even if it lies in anarchy and has no government the same rules apply. If American citizens can not be safely travelling in those waters, the US military should step in and provide the necessary security by establishing deterrence and by escorting civilians with armed security.

Sure there is another option.
I have been saying military option will do nothing.
But if you so badly want a Military option. I'll give you one:

US blows up any ship that enters/leaves Somali waters. Done.
I fixed piracy. Oh and in before the outrage by the rest of the world when Asian and European boats get blown up

I don't understand what you're trying to say.
You've offered an absurdly wrong military solution to the subject and then explained why it's absurdly wrong. It's not mine, it's yours.

Infact when NATO invited Somali Elders on board. They asked the Elders for help to eradicate Piracy on land but refused to do anything about the illegal fishing and dumping saying it weren't in their jurisdiction. :roll:

The Somalis can take it to the UN, not to NATO. NATO is a military force, not a court of justice.
NATO has the responsibility to allow its member states' civilians a safe passage in the area, and that means to counter piracy.

Sure, who said don't. Go ahead US and waste your money on protecting the few civilians who wish to sail around HOA.
Have fun and enjoy the scenery whilst protecting them. I don't care

Been taken to the UN. Nothing happened.
So Somali coast guards took the law in their own hands. It's really that simple.
 
and that has what to do with Somali pirates again?

It doesn't. Laila lives in a world of silliness and conjecture. A "muslim" living in London who would probably be stoned to death in many of the places she sits around "defending" trying to play the moral equivalence game to score "points". It's quite funny when you think about it.
 
oh well. They were Christian missionaries so they had it coming. 1) For spreading religion and truth be told religion is a problem around the world. 2) They were American had they been French they would have been fine. But because American military have killed Somali's recently. It was a revenge killing done by the pirates. We won't take any action against the Somali's but we should be bombing Somalia with Drones like we do in Pakistan.




What the hell is wrong with you?
 
You really think I care about what people think. Nah.

This is just something to pass the time and partly entertainment.

Yeah, America has such a history of just roaming the planet killing people for no reason. Please, we give away about every dollar we (don't) have trying to help people.

If people on your side of the world would just evolve beyond 2000 BC, it would really help. It's like trying to raise a million two-year-olds.

LOL
Sure I'd be stoned to death in certain parts of the world. Congratulations on pointing out the obvious.

Call it what it is.
US instated puppets who are made up of murderers and warlords who no one wants and who control less territory than my Garden and must be under 24 hour protection from their own people.

Sure there is another option.

so wait, these 4 Americans, ok to be killed because of illegal fishing, wait, what?
 
I think Laila's changing her title to "pirate lady" should tell us all to not feed the troll anymore. Whose with me?
 
Sure, who said don't. Go ahead US and waste your money on protecting the few civilians who wish to sail around HOA.

Yet again I do not understand what connection does your "caring level" has to the subject at hand.
The US government has an obligation to maintain the security of their citizens at home and abroad, whether you care if they practice it or not is not something I should care about, aye?

Been taken to the UN. Nothing happened.

Link? And if true then it sucks for them. What do you expect from US citizens that are traveling in the area to do about it? How is that their fault?

So Somali coast guards took the law in their own hands. It's really that simple.

I don't quite understand who are those Somali coast guards you're talking about here and what are their deeds that you consider "to take the law to their own hands". An elaboration would have been lovely.

She's trolling at this point Rev. Look at her title change. "Pirate Lady". She's having a good laugh seeing whom she can rile up. I vote we just /ignore her now.

I've had it for months.

I also once had a Avatar with the Somali flag and a profile picture of a female pirate.

Any more obvious facts you wish to point out?

I say if she wants t' be a pirate, we talk t' her like one!, matey!
 
Laila, you're wasting your time if you think Americans and an Israeli will be on your side. They are all about one way foreign policy and no matter how much you try to show them a glimpse of historical facts or suggest tenable alternatives, they won't care. Somalia has always been the dumping ground of the rich nations and they feel it's their entitlement to do so.

I support the pirates. They are protecting their home land and fighting for resource survival. The Americans didn't deserve to die but they are political enemies since the U.S. did nothing at the UN to support Somalia's right to sovereignty over its own waters. The blood of the Americans is on the hands of the U.S. government just as much as it is on the Somali pirates. But you can't explain that to a bunch of ignorant hicks.

You are right.
When a poor country is exploited. Those same countries turn the other way and ignore it and yet it is when poor countries do something to retaliate the rest of the world pretends it has any right to complain when it stood by watching it being exploited.

This is the first comment of yours that I'm reading here yet you've done a great job at basing your immorality by promoting a crude generalization of the opinions and attitudes of people from a certain nationality and by claiming support for people who engage in crime against innocents.

There's no reason why anyone should listen to a preach of morality from a person who clearly has none of it in his heart and mind.

Defending the homeland? Is that what you call their actions? I suppose the Coast Guard could try that, think of all the money we could make... hijack foreign ships and hold their crews hostage for ransoms...

Yes I do.
Those who act within Somali waters are defending their territory as is their God given right.

Those who act 100 miles outside of Somali waters have nothing but greed in mind.

Isn't 12 miles the recognized limit?
