Remember when the Navy Seals made a head shot on one of those Samali Pirates. Haven't heard a word about any Pirates hijacking ships since. Another foreign policy plus for Obama if you ask me...

1. Oh they're still

hijacking ships but for some strange reason they seem to have been avoiding the U.S. ones. I don't know why.

Somalia: Pirates Hijack Oil Tanker

I'm afraid that pirates from that region do not quake in fear of bullets to the head from Seals.

Ending piracy will take much more than a bullet to the head of one pirate. Piracy is a symptom of a greater problem, not the cause.

Do not worry, you'll hear about them soon. The Brits are cutting back due to cuts to the MOD budget.

Google, it is your friend.



In fact, there are areas of the world I would not take a cruise ship into... since piracy is actually not just a problem around Somalia.
