OBAMA PULLS THE TRIGGER: NOW HOW ABOUT SOME FOLLOW THROUGH?
I know some of the Somali pirates (in phoners with the AP, who seem to have all these nefarious folks on speed-dial) have said this will mean more trouble for American ships.
But if you're choosing targets, which do you pick? The one with Old Glory (let's see, 3 dead pirates, no $$$), or some other country's flag, a country that won't protect their ship?
It's like a Dirty Harry movie, which shows an excellent example of self-interest at work. There are 7 bad guys, and only 6 bullets in the gun. But do you want to take your chances that you'll be guy #7? Probably not. In fact, the mere presence of the gun makes it harder for you to initiate violence.
