#1 Hijackings and piracy have surged since last month as armed groups take advantage of a lack of law and order in the country

If you look at it as 'insurgency at sea', it becomes a little easier to understand. The Islamic Courts, aside from detaining one crew, didn't do anything of significance.

The attacks have halted food aid deliveries to Somalia by sea

I believe that was the objective.

#2 Don't forget to ID the port these wretched come from and level it so the next one gets the message not to harbor their cousins.

#3 Somalians need food. Sharks are really quite tasty and nutritious. Use pirates for (live) bait.

#4 Nah, cut the pirates in largish chunks, that way you can catch more sharks and not worry about such little things as surviving Pirates or wounded and recovering "Bait".
