WTF is wrong with blowing Somali pirates out of the water?

CRUISE LINER BRITONS HIDE UNDER BUNKS TO SURVIVE PIRATE ATTACK
* Why does this story remind me of Melanie Griffith’s in “Bonfire of theVanities” when she grabs Tom Hanks by the balls and tells him “You know I’m a sucker for a soft dick..?”
TERRIFIED British tourists cowered in their cabins when their cruise
liner came under fire from gun-wielding Somali pirates.
Guards on board returned fire but the pirates were only repelled when a group of holidaymakers threw tables and chairs as the men climbed ropes up to the deck. The intruders were made to retreat to their own boats.
Passengers were forced to take refuge under their bunks as the gang used two boats to try to hijack the ship Melody on its voyage 180-miles north of the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.
Most of the media discussion about piracy in the Gulf of Aden has drifted understandably towards the sensational part of the story: how are the pirates able to roam the ocean? Is paying them ransom a better option than engaging them militarily? Last but not least, will a military intervention against the pirates worsen the situation; will it lead to a massive escalation in Somalia and a Vietnam-like quagmire for many years to come?
Among the 1,000 passengers left traumatised by the experience were Maureen and Roy Gawthrop, of Barnsley.
Maureen, 66, said: “We were enjoying a classical concerto on the pool deck when everyone heard a cracking sound. The applause for the musicians died down suddenly and someone came running in from the open deck and shouted ‘Pirates!’.
“Crew members acted quickly to evacuate passengers into their cabins and told them to lock their doors.
“We went to our cabin and we could hear bullets whizzing and clanging as they hit the ship. I looked out of our window. I saw a white speed boat riding alongside on the wake of the ship about 15 yards away.
“There were eight men dressed in green camouflage who turned and fired at us.
“Roy pulled me away from the window in case we got hit. We couldn’t believe it was happening, it was unreal.”
Roy, 66, added: “We later learned what we witnessed was the aftermath of the incident. The pirates had tried to get on board the ship with rope ladders and failed. Israeli security guards travelling on the ship had killed two of them.”

This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.
We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...
But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.
Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!
One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.
But you won't be back, trust me on that.
Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

I can only say my dick would have gone soft in such a situation .
Well done , Israelis !
Many thanks to guys who fought these miserable islamic thugs. 2/8 is 25% – lets make sure it is 100% next time.
The crew and passengers of all ships going through these waters should be allowed to carry arms – small and large, and then they should blow these ignorant camel-drivers out of the water. End of story.
“These waters” means hundreds of miles out in international waters. The Islamo-fascists would have you believe that they’re extracting some kind of ‘tax’ and they are acting as a kind of ‘coast guard’ enforcing some imaginary laws because evil Western imperialist infidels have ‘stolen their fish’- and because of that they have to resort to piracy.
Nothing could be further from the truth: this is Barbary pirates all over again. The necessary action is to go in and blow them out of the waters, firebomb their villages and make sure they don’t have a single vessel left to go out and attack. And if they starve to death: they asked for it. Let ‘em have it!
The gung ho macho approach is just wishful thinking.
Reijo, do you really think we haven’t got what it takes?
These attacks take place well outside of recognized country borders in international waters, The pirate are international criminals. What good islamist isn’t these days? A good example to a working solution is an observation that the rate of pirate attacks in the region of Singapore and the straights of Malacca reduced to zero after Indonesia was flooded after the tsunami. Draw your own conclusions.
I agree Sheik. A few counter ‘man made disasters’ with an emphasis on a destabilizing (cutting their nuts out) approach to Islam sounds really good. At the least we can awake one morning to the news that a few more goat fu2#ing towel headed Muhammadans ran into a bit of bother the previous night.
