What to do with Somali Pirates?

Put 'em to the Sword, matey!
Prosecution can only be a small part of the fight against piracy. The main weapon has to be ruthless force.

After all, we're just reacting to reality...
It is regrettable that the failure of the legal system to bring pirates to justice effectively has created a perverse incentive to kill rather than prosecute. Until Somalia has a legal system capable of convicting pirates, killing them is the only option.
