I believe it is time to make another movie to finish what Blackhawk Down started...maybe one where we are organized, well supplied, and down spend 5 minutes of the movie running down the street to the safety of the UN...

In other words the Marines should be sent down to "invest"...

I read an article recently explaining a lot about the Somali pirates. The use to be fishermen but there waters have been polluted with toxins so they had to resort to other things.

I'm really not surprised by this. I think things are getting a lil out of hand.

I'm half tempted to buy a couple of shares just so I could say I have pirate stock.
