Those crazy ol' somali pirates arrrr at it again, getting all the headlines. First there's the news that
US Navy snipers took out 3 pirates simultaneously when they threatened an American ship captain. Then the pirates
vowed revenge on all US and French targets (not sure the Yanks are too happy to be lugged in with the cheese-eaters), however despite their impressive gains in productivity and being able to
seize ships the size of US Aircraft carriers, threats from dudes in wooden boats that
are frightened off by dolphins are probably not so scary to the only country that has actually used nuclear weapons.

Mark Steyn takeover on these pirate "distractions" to Obama's true goal (whatever that is):
Powerful states protect one-man psycho states. One-man psycho states provide delivery systems to apocalyptic ideological states. Apocalyptic ideological states fund nonstate actors around the world. And in Somalia and elsewhere nonstate actors are constrained only by their ever increasing capabilities.
Didn't we get rid of pirates, like 200 years ago?

Sorry, can't actually work out what you're on about without reading all the stuff other people said and I can't be bothered right now so you lost me on this one.
