I think it's about time we take the kid gloves off and show we mean business.
I personally don't care what Sweden or Switzerland think about us, we have the duty (and power) to defend our citizens. Piracy is covered by international law. (hang'em high?) Loved the way the Russians handled it, maybe it sends a message "Don't mess with Russian flagged vessels"?

She is in company with the cruiser USS Bunker Hill. Let us hope that they can rescue the American citizens aboard the sailboat. This will be more difficult as the pirates are in-charge of the pleasure craft. It will probably depend upon US Marine and SEAL assets available to the task force. Ron Rogers
