Pirates...Fail.

So the worst possible outcome to the situation with the four kidnapped Americans happened today. Apparently while the Navy was negotiating with the pirates, they decided that it would be a good idea to execute the four hostages. Very sad outcome but now we are faced with the pirates that were taken captive by the Navy. No doubt they wil be returned to the US for prosecution and certainly face life in prison here in the US. I still think the solution to this problem is to execute the pirates once taken. On the spot. Todays outcome will only embolden them to continue. The pirates taken will now be given life sentences courtesy of the US taxpayer. This is not the optimal outcome. We need a solution that does not give them incentive to continue this behavior.
