300 years later and there still here

When I hear the word pirate I think of Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. But now there is a new term to go along with pirates; Somalia. In the past few years there has been more and more activity involving these "pirates". They sneak up on big vessels and attempt to hijack then ship and then they try to sell the hostages back to their country for millions of dollars. This has become an extremely profitable business making over and estimates 200 million this year. With most somalians not making over 600$, this is a huge step up. The problem is the countries that have their ships being hijacked can't go to the country to stop this because as of right now, Somalia has no central government. There are tribal regions and the leaders are payed off by the pirates to tell the FBI and CIA that they don't know where they are. In my opinion we should begin to arm the ships with weapons of their own. We need to get rid of old maritime laws and start looking at the 21st century. People are going to commit mutiny anymore, we can trust them.
