My favorite quote from that:

Quote
“If we have 100 American wanna-be Rambos patrolling the seas, it’s probably a good way of getting the job done,” said Competitive Enterprise Institute senior fellow and security expert Eli Lehrer.

Wasn't Rambo the only thing left alive when he got done? why so serious?

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

Why am I sure he'd suggest the same kind of idea for patrolling the US / Mexico border?

I went to school with one of her cousins. It was a K-12 school, she brought a Jar Jar Binks head in for her cousin's class, it was the 3rd grade or 4th grade (I was a sophomore or junior). I heard she was nice.

So... Who's got a ship, and where do I sign up to join the crew?

Hmm. Lots of civvies in small boats with guns, looking for... Other civvies in small boats with guns.

Sounds great. Perhaps we could make a game show out of it. Can we volunteer other people?

While I enjoy the humor in your version of it, if this were to happen it would enable folks to buy and arm some serious ships for doing it. A letter of mark would let folks like Blackwater find new ways to profit.

Sadly enough this is real and not a The Onion piece. Somali pirates really love their Dutch cells.
Quote
Pirates captured after attacking a Dutch vessel have gone on trial in the liberal Netherlands and at least two of them have declared their intention to stay on as residents.

"My client feels safe here. His own village is dominated by poverty and sharia [Islamic law] but here he has good food and can play football and watch television. He thinks the lavatory in his cell is fantastic," he said
