Gunboat diplomacy?
Should be go to back to the good old days and send a gunboat up the Shatt al-Arab; teach Johnny foreigner a lesson? Not sure where it goes to but Shatt al-Arab has a nice ring to it.

We know where the Somali pirates hibernate, just ashore from where they anchor all the hijacke ships. A few conventional cruise missiles of parh a battleship off shore, nothing a few 16" shells could not improve.
We really need to get their sponsors, the ones who provide the guns and boats and rake of the lion's share of their ill gotten gains. |

I hope that somehow the 13 pirates they did capture will mysteriously dissapear overboard before the ship docks.

There's a tour available, a cruise ship is armed, they troll off the coast there and you get to shoot pirates. Or at least there was a couple of years ago.
