#5 'Looks like we will soon be back to the "rich and intertwined" history of Islam and America, as we once again have to fight the Barbary Pirates. Minor note: The first time around, we didn't have the Aegis Combat System, TLAM Cruise Missiles, and FA-18 Superhornets. The Barbary Pirates - well, they didn't have cell phones and video cameras. Play ball!! |

#4 I was disappointed to find that the Viking Cruise Line does not feature pillaging on their river cruises. Seems like false advertising to me. |

#3 O.K. - why the river cruises, B? Easier to get to from anywhere on shore? |

#1 I remember Mr. Klinghoffer like it was yesterday. Mrs, Bobby and I are going on such a cruise in the near future, so I *am* a trifle concerned. |
