Of course attacking Naval vessels may solve the problem.
But until then who knows.

I'm sure i'll be flamed for this but i truly don't give a rats ass...

Unfortunately what hasn't been brought to light is the true reasons why Somali's continue to do this other than the usual "it's a poor corrupt country with no true leadership". All reports are after the fact and none dealing with beforehand truths. What has been painted by corporate media outlets makes Somalian's out to be some deranged, suicidal cave-men with kalashnikov's, hell bent on piracy. The true stories may never be revealed by media outlets as there are too many conflicts of their own interests...

The true news will never arrive but the truths are out there if one is willing to do the research. An even more interesting perspective can be gathered from speaking with an actual Somalian.
