Navy SEALS
Violence is always regrettable. But sometimes one needs to send a clear message that certain types of behavior are not acceptable. Today the U.S. Navy did that by rescuing the captain of the Maersk Alabama from pirates off the coast of Somalia. Navy SEALS (elite naval commandos) rescued the captain in a daring assault even as one of the cut throats had a loaded weapon pointed at their captives head. I am wondering if perhaps it is not time to take a note from our handling of the Barbary Pirates and explain to these people that it is just not a good idea to pick a fight with people who have a bigger stick than you.
