    They should torture them harder to make sure - then, as long as the villages have a few new cars (clear signs of pirate illgotten gains...) napalm them...

    ...and what about the innocents in the said villages? Guilty by association, BB? Quite the civilised tact you take.

    Looking at the broader picture, who are the real pirates and terrorists that plague the world? Some loose-knit rag-tag {albeit well organized and sizable bollocks} Somalis? Something is amiss.

    Yeah... The broader picture may help you realise the motivation for kidnapping and murder,
    but is irrelevant in the immediate situation, and certainly offers no credible solution.

    Somali pirates = Bad guys (operating outside lawful or moral boundaries)
    First world navy = Good guys (operating inside lawful or moral boundaries)
    Independant and commercial sailors = victims

    Concrats, Robby! You're well indoctrinated! Shouldn't feel altogether too bad, you're certainly not alone - to be sure.

    Your cop-out only affirms the tenuous nature of your proposition RS, if you want to prove your intellectual and moral superiority to me (or at least engage in a discussion), explain how the moral relativism of the broader picture plays a part in the immediacy of a life or death situation.

    You cut out the vital words: 'all but'; anyway I just playing devils advocate on that one - we've all seen the napalm images from Vietnam, horrendous - kids with their skin peeling off as they're running away... awful.
