I told you didn’t I? A few days ago I wrote about how the US will go to great lengths to protect its citizens. Well, the pirates found this out. You see, the US government knows that US citizens would be potential targets in places like Haiti, the Gulf Of Aden, etc. When something happens to US citizens in areas like that, the US tends to respond with overkill to make sure that people think twice about killing US citizens. The strategy has proved to be pretty successful in keeping us safe when we travel abroad. I guarantee you that the Somalian pirates are going to think loonnnngggg and harrrrrrdddd before they attack another US vessel.

Attacking another US vessel would be a very, very stupid thing. I think they will stick to the nations that will actually pay the ransom and not kill everyone to get their people back.
