Who's with me?!
For every problem, there's a Libertarian solution.
Oddly, I find myself actually agreeing with this one for the pirate problem.

I got yer piracy solution right here.
Do we blow any zodiac / small fishing vessel out of the water if it approaches a merchant ship? (Oops, that's a violation of international treaties)
Do we instead try and be smart, track vessels via satellite to see where the pirate mothership is, then blow that out of the water? (Oops, that was where they were keeping the hostages)
Despite the open waters, and massive firepower at our disposal
this looks to me like yet another exercise in asymmetrical warfare.
With all the attendant pitfalls.
Exterminate the brutes!
Yes!
"The cruise-missile carrying USS Bainbridge was sent to the scene in a move analysts say will strengthen the hand of US negotiators."
Hmm. Some prize money might help my bruised 401K.
Letters of Marque? !! While appealing in it's literary aspect, the prospect of Blackwater at sea does not thrill me in the least.
