10 armed men in a small boat 300 miles at sea, must be fishermen, right. To those quick to ask why the yachts are there, the answere is it is a free world and they have a right to be there. Remember these boats being taken are not within the 3 or 60 miles of somalia, They are hundreds of miles at sea.
There are cities in the U.S. where crime is high, when someone is murderd or robbed within those cities do you also say, sorry charlie, you knew the risk of living there.
Civilized society is fragil at its best and to allow the pirates to opperate at will puts us all in danger. We must ask if they get away with this "how long before gangs in our own country try the same thing? Look to Mexico and the drug wars, we are not that far from them.
All my best to this family and their friends
