Piracy, worse than terrorism

Both piracy and terrorism are veil activities some people choose to pursue. Although terrorism are motivated often by misguided religious or social reasons, piracy is motivated simply by monetary gains.

Piracy in the past have some romantic and adventurous connotation some old novels and movies portrait them to be. Who would not sympathize for Sir Walter Raleigh, the handsome pirate who raided spanish ships of its gold to give to Queen Elizabeth I? After all most history would portrait Spain at that time as this powerful bully trying to conquer England ruled by Elizabeth. Who would could not like Johnny Depp as this "good" pirate in Pirates of the Caribbean? What ever our image of pirates based on books and movies, modern day pirates are far from it. These recent activities of Somalian pirates holding people hostage in exchange for money are gaining more notoriety in the news. These pirate are getting too brazen with their activites that it is time our government should deal with them without mercy. Irradicate them I say! Kill first then ask later! Nuke their headquarters in Somalia! Afterall they have no qualms in announcing that they will kill as much Americans in the seas. Those kind of people don't deserve to be treated as human being. They are worse than animals.
