SOMALIA: A German shipowner pays $2 million dollars ransom to Somali pirates who hijacked his vessel and kidnapped the crew. But this money only rewards terrorists, and goes to buy more weapons and equipment so other innocent vessels will be threatened in the future. Haven’t we learned anything from the past? Also, see similar incident here. France has the right idea, and storms a pirate ship instead. Good for them. Vive la France!
