Somali pirates seize 5 ships in 48 hours

[Jordy]

United States will bomb them out of the water. We are teh 1336 1/2.

United States can't do anything, unless they're attacked they can't engage into conflict with them, or at least if they're abiding international law they shouldn't.

The British Navy demonstrated this earlier in the year, Somalia Pirates shot at the Navy first and the Navy just mowed them all down with machine guns haha.

Fair play to the Somalia Pirates, they haven't harmed anyone yet (Other than the above but they only shot the Navy, they didn't injure) in any of their captures, they've followed the guidelines (Geneva Convention I think?) on keeping hostages and been completely humane the whole time. They've simply limited the freedom of the crew but allowed them to do whatever they want on the boat other than leave.

I don't know if they've let them do what they want.... That sounds a little too nice for pirates.

My TECH teacher, spent a whole 75 minute block talking about this... -.-

[Wouter]

Nothing much people can do as stated about Geneva. If they start making threats and demanding ransoms. Then we can act.

The hostages on the boat are free to walk around the boat, talk to each other, sleep in their usual beds and go about their daily ship duties, they just can't leave the boat.

Should just get some snipers, head shot the guys who have the American Captain and voila, problem solved. It'd free the Captain and show the pirates that they'll be killed, not given millions of pounds if they capture boats.

If we start killing them then who's to say they won't start doing the same to us.

Well done. I do know what it's called and I'm sure most people do, what's your point? That's it's immoral? It's immoral to hijack a ship and take people hostage, endangering their lives.

How are their lives endangered?
