Sound-off |
Pirates and Somolia
I just saw a news report that said Spain has paid in excess of 3 million dollars for the release of hostages due to a pirate attack. I am extremely disappointed with this action. The purpose of these attacks is to get money. The problem is growing and it seems the only thing being done, at least by some countries, is to pay these pirates and perpetuate the problem. The only way we are going to stop the problem is to make pirate activity a waste of time and effort. The world has to unite on this issue and decide that pirates will no longer be paid money and be hunted down as international criminals. It has been an on going problem for years and has reached a point that it can no longer be ignored.
