Until Somalia is stable, civil war and militia fighting has ended the piracy will continue. All that they are proposing is a temporary cure to a permanent problem. Unless Somalia becomes stable enough for a ruling government to take over and start running the country, establish civil services, fight piracy etc... shit ain't happening folks. For some of these people it is the only way to make money. Yes we can arm the crew's yes we can try to pressure the international community to send more warships and escorts but in the end we are just throwing time and money to the wind.
