Eleven suspected pirates were being flown to the U.S. Thursday to stand trial in alleged attacks on U.S. naval vessels off the coast of Africa, officials said.

“Some pirates have been released after capture because no nation could be found to try them.”

And therein lies the problem. When civilized nations are no longer willing to defend the borders and boundaries of civilization against barbarism, the fight to keep humanity out of the long dark night from which we have only recently escaped is already half-lost.
