Its a country where people have next to nothing. They get desperate.

Its not like the UK where the government will subsidise every poor bugger with a begging bowl.

It's a libertarian paradise. I don't know why all the libertarians don't go and live there.

You as always misunderstand what is actually going on it's not libertarianism it's a mish mash of tribes and warlords and therefore more along the lines of an anarchy.

Libertarians view a strong central government as a necessary evil to keep order and the rule of law, they just don't appreciate at least in America's case the total disregard of the 9th Ammendment to the Constitution.

Well, I'd say a good number of them have speedboats, automatic weapons, rocket launchers and other explosives, and millions of dollars in cash for the last ship they ransomed off.

Actually, I doubt the piracy has much to do with poverty. More likely it's due to the fact that there is no real government no police force, laws, etc. The pirates are just robbers. Damn, even the extremists and militants are worried about these pirate dudes.

Great practice area for the navy or RAAf ,couple of jet fighters could have some fun taking out the pirate boats once and for all.
Set up a dummy cruise ship or a tanker full of sea water so it sits real low and there you go,target practice around a thing your not allowed to hit,what more could they possibly want?
