Its sad to know that around 36 ships are under capture with Somalian Pirates. The ships contain Billion worth Oil and other commodities . recently They left Indian sailors by paying 1.5 million on ransom.Why not all countries coming together. When you . countries should form a coalition to tackle this menace. Yesterday Indian Navy attacked Somalian Pirates and sinked their ship. this was first retaliation happen till date.There is justification in holding other counties wealth and bargain their life for ransom. This huge ransom , I am sure, will not use for good purpose. More over it may end up for illegal activities around the world. World leaders and countries should not encourage this.

I think you've jumped to an uneducated conclusion in thinking that the pirates are going to used for ilegal activities my friend. somalia has been devestated by war since the early 90's so maybe these pirates are doing it to eat/survive,did you ever think of that?in the end it probably comes down to whether its cost effective to begin a pirate eradication program or just let it be.

If you don't have to eat , that dosent mean you start robing others. Un trying evrything to resolve the crisis in somalia. But they dosent stop ethnic violence and until and unless they do this piracy they cant get money. do you think its going to poor ? if so there wont be any poor family by now.
