Finally, good news from the Indiana Ocean. The American Ship Captain who was being held by Somali Pirates was freed. The three captors were killed by U.S. Navy Seals in a swift gunfight operation which was approved by President Obama.
It's amazing to me that in this day and age that pirates are permitted to operate and prosper with little or no opposition from governments of civilized countries! Richard Phillips was lucky. Lucky to survive and lucky to be a citizen of a country that gives a rat's ass about this problem! We hope that the estimated 200 other hostages being held by Somali Pirates should be so lucky. Hopefully, we Americans are starting a trend.
