Fight Off, Don’t Pay Off, Pirates

Max Boot  "The key to securing this vital shipping lane is to unleash all the naval power that is already in the region. The U.S. and our allies should give our fleets shoot-on-sight orders when they detect suspected pirates — the same kind of order our troops operate under when dealing with armed insurgents in Iraq or Afghanistan. It would not take many gunfights, I suspect, to deter all but the most foolhardy or daring pirates from continuing with their criminal racket."
How much do our pacifists have to do with the lack of force on our part? Pacifists get innocent people killed.
