    OK folks, all the US military personnel due for discharge, and not "stop-lossed," this is great business opportunity for you. Private security for international shipping companies. Go get those Johnny Depps!

    Somalia poverty and civil war forcing more to take up piracy off their Coasts.

    Somalia is now at position 222 for GDP(PPP), lowest in world.

    There is 10 million people living off annual GDP(PPP) of 5500 million USD via their insufficient economic activities. Civil war also making economic situations not any better for economy.

    UN/others must start some donation aid projects.

    this is great business opportunity" I was thinking the same.

    UN/others must start some donation aid projects." You know Raja, I went there once upon a time. One of the reasons we were sent there was because when the UN sent donations and aid it was all being robbed by clans. The last thing this place needs is aid, it needs to get all the Al Quaida out, all the clan leaders need to be brought into justice, then you can start talking about aid. I praise your sympathetic approach, but it hasn't worked before, and it ain't gonna work this time either.

    Anyway, this pirating crap is getting out of hand and a lot of it is due to views such as Raja's. You wouldn't give a hand out to someone burglarizing your house would you? So why do it to someone stealing from you on water? Besides, yeah, they got a low GDP but damn near half the country is now in Minnesota.
