  I still don't see why there isn't a blockade of the Somali coast - if the pirates are based in Somalia, then they have at some point to get from the Somali shore to their "hunting grounds" (and back).

  Somalia is currently a "failed state", so it is not as if they are going to be able to make a strong objection to being blockaded.

  Finally, for all of this talk of "terrorists" elsewhere, why not deem Somali pirates "terrorists", too...?

  Obviously, I meant the foreign powers that have troops on the ground in Afghanistan - e.g. the USA, UK, Canada, and others - rather than the UN.

  Hence, the implication was one of more direct demining effort on their part, if there is not yet much already, instead of through the UN, with all of its bureaucracy.

  Indeed, is the UN a "foreign power", so much as an international organization...?

  Militants often use the raw materials from the mines to make roadside bombs and other improvised explosive devices.

  Given that connection, it would seem that demining should be a priority for the foreign powers that are currently in Afghanistan. Is it...?

  Longevity of life

  Errm, isn't "of life" a bit redundant?
