Pirates!

Pirates used to be cool. Several hundred years ago they were cool. Now they're just these lame Somalians who have been pestering the world for the last couple years. Here's what I don't get. We have the technology to crush any nation on earth. We can send missiles to any location on the earth. We can do, basically, whatever we want. Why don't we take a day and blow those worthless Somalian pirates up? We know where they're stationed. We know who they are. Somalia has just been a blemish on the face of the earth for the last twenty years anyway. Just blow them up so we don't see anymore news stories about hijacked European ships.

I'd say the Europeans should go do it themselves, but come on. When's the last time Europe managed to do anything without the U.S. holding their hands? They can't even handle problems in their own tiny continent. Remember Yugoslavia? Yeah, we were there. Maybe if the Somalians were cool and had some sense of honor I'd say leave em alone. If they were stealing money and food to help feed their country I wouldn't have that big a problem. But kidnapping people for ransom and then killing them? Where's the class in that? They have no honor, no code of morality. They're just a bunch of bullies who need to be wiped out, so please mighty American military; squash that roach.

Did you hear this story? They threw a party and thought they won the lottery when the captain of a shipping vessel told them the ship they just took was American. The crew members shut down the engines and electricity, and from the bowels of the ship steered over and sunk the pirates' boat. One of them ambushed the leader of the pirates and stuck a knife in his throat, taking him captive. They agreed on a swap, but the dirty pirates lied and took the captain with them in a life boat. A navy vessel followed them for days while they starved, until 3 Navy seals coordinated a simultaneous snipe of the three pirates remaining on the life boat. You don't mess with America, man. We have attitude and are bred to be winners.

while we're at it, let's drop off all the homos on an island and take care of them, too.
just a suggestion.
