Rember Pearl Harbor, Remember San Juan Hill, rember the Alamo, i say it's
time the world stoped dancing with these thugs, who are criminals and
blow them out of the water. every ship should have the right to self
protection, and the navies of the world patroling and there is some
International presence and consensus but all to much pussy footing around.
remember how many Vietnamise boat people died at the hands of the Thi pirates
and nobody did anything. it's just like someone crawing through your window
with a gun to rob you. the world really has an obligation to stop them and as
long as they ride away with millions of dollars they won't stop...so blow the
AK-47 totan basterds to kingdom come. NOW and "collatral damage is the price of
freedom. Live free or die...
