This is not an alternate view, it's a rambling mess of an article with some kinda insane history lesson loosely trying to excuse holding people hostage and demanding ransom.
Is does bring up a separate and (unfortunately for the author) unrelated problem, which is dumping of toxic waste in the oceans. The author is trying very hard to link it up as an excuse for criminal activity in a lawless land. Unfortunately for us this is not a Somali problem - we all share the ocean. Toxic waste dumped off the coast of Africa is just as much California's problem, Florida's problem, and a problem for anyone who enjoys sushi. The dumping worries me. The piracy is a crime. I also have sympathy for the crackhead down the street that tries to rob me, but he's still going to jail if he robs me. The prates are the same. -Cameron On Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 2:22 PM, Gruss Gott <[email protected]> wrote: > In 1991, the government of Somalia - in the Horn of Africa - > collapsed.
