Does that mean if they rob a bank, we're powerless unless they shoot first?

Because that's the same general idea, except they stole a mother ******* ship, and are holding it and have control of it.. sounds to me that's a reason to shoot..

I didn't realise pirates still existed... obviously they still do :P

Well no not really.
If they robbed a bank in the middle of the sea than we are. They havent stole a ship in british waters.

Somalia is a pretty mucked up country. Ever seen black hawk down? That was set in Somalia. What its like in the movie is what its like all the time.

pirates still exist?
O_o

1 Problem, isn't oil flammable?

why's everybody like "pirates still exist wth?!??!?!?!" of course they do... they're just like people who rob cars, but they rob boats instead... and they don't have eyepatches and wooden legs like in the stories. :P

Just blow up and ship and let the ******* burn in hell with the oil.

It will increase in value and make the big US businessmen more rich while normal consumers get the short side of the straw and pay double.
