According to
this AP article, life is just peachy for all involved with piracy. The pirates bring money, jobs, food, security, esteem, to the impoverished masses. It's win-win! Honestly, even the
hostages guests receive
imprisonment Five-Star treatment from their humble, Robin Hoodish
overlords activity coordinators:
The attackers generally treat their hostages well in anticipation of a big payday, hiring caterers on shore to cook spaghetti, grilled fish and roasted meat that will appeal to a Western palate. They also keep a steady supply of cigarettes and drinks from the shops on shore.
Frankly I'm shocked that the author of this article would use such derisive epithets like "attacker" and "hostages". These scumsuckers honest fisherman driven to desperation are simply participating in the redistibution of wealth stolen from the masses by evil Western countries. Economic justice in other words. The pirates bring hope. They offer change.
Heck in this country we have the same thing except we don't call them pirates. We call them Democrats.

Other nations's are
responding differently, not as taken with the pirates viewpoint as the locals. It seems other countries have no problem sending these scruvy dogs to the depths of Davy Jones' Locker!
Arrrrrgh!
