The problem is that cargo ships that are armored are not allowed in some ports and if they are, they are subject to inspection. But any ships that goes through those waters unarmed is just asking for trouble. Their main armament is fire hoses-which are pretty effective.
The average Somalian is just interested in their next meal. There is no functioning government or anyone to set rules so lawlessness prevails. These pirate criminals see nothing wrong in what they have done and the countries who have given ransoms have made a bad situation worse. You don't reward bad behavior.
Hooray for our guys on the site and hooray for the president and his advisor's who gave the OK twice to use deadly force.
