Are Somali pirates legitimate businessmen?
« on: April 10, 2009, 06:13:13 AM »

Some say 'yes'.

What is it about Somalia that makes the entire world content to see them operate without a functioning central government?

They're brutal thugs who steal. Period! They're animals who need to be put down. The area of Eyl is like millionaire's row with mansions, Bentley's, affluence and this is where they are centered... U.S. Special Op's are awaiting the green light to go in, seize all properties, kill if necessary, and save the hostage's lives. Obama's crew just needs to give the thumbs up...however, he's too busy calling American's arrogant and bowing down to the King of Saudi Arabia ::)
