#1 Every denizen of Rantburg understands how to crush this epidemic of piracy, but no government is willing to just do it. When pirates are caught in the act, hang 'em. When they are encountered in the act, sink their boats and leave them for the sharks. When they are tracked back to their shore bases, apply the Hama rules. And offer an 'ear bounty' to private contractors who wish to support us in the battle.

#2 The shipping companies having paid the Danegeld have only created more Danes.

Fundamental principle - you get more of what you tolerate.

#3 I keep repeating that one ARCLIGHT strike down through Eyl or one of the other pirate "home ports" would put a stop to the piracy. We may have to actually do it twice, but it WILL work. It might be hard on the crews of the captured vessels, but they would be the last ones.
