Make foreign flag vessel nations actively defend the tubs they flag and
put up a bond to ensure it's done right as a condition of entering US
ports.

Punish feminized,effete-minded nations that don't allow their sailors to
carry and use weapons to defeat boarders.

Issue letters of marque and reprisal as put forth in the United States
constitution.

Actively defend men who board pirate-seized ships and _summarily execute_
the pirates. Summary execution and feeding to sharks will cause would be
pirates to think.

Wow. I'm going to have to totally agree with you here. There's a
first for everything.

In this day and age, it amazes me that this should be a problem when
the solution is so simple. You send out some decoy ships and arm them
to the teeth. Pirates pull up in their little motorboat. Ten soldiers
appear on deck with RPGs and blast them into outer space. Do this
three or four times...no more pirates off the Horn of Africa.

There are numerous warships in the Indian Ocean trying to tackle this
problem right now.. but that doesn't deter the pirates, and the range
they cover is so large these ships can't police it.

It's all kind of mysterious to me too. The easiest way to get rid of
boarders is to wash them overboard with high-pressure hoses. The shippers
could also reinforce the bridges like the airlines did with the pilots'
cabins.

Perhaps the republicans are in cahoots with the pirates and splitting
the ransom.

I'm sure Witless would want to get to the bottom of that hypothesis.

Other ideas the crews probably haven't thought of : Rocking the ship
back and forth to shake the pirates off, or leaving banana skins and
bars of soap all over the deck so they slide off on their buttocks.

I know, but you're much more vulnerable using an RPG from a small boat
where the force of the weapon could make it flip. I can think of a
million ways to sink a small boat from a sizable ship. You could even
drop a couple of Molotov cocktails into it when they're trying to grab
the ladder. That would be fun to watch as long as they're not firing
up at you.

That's why I think decoys are the solution. Look like a big yacht
full of rich Europeans and then unleash an ungodly amount of firepower
on them when they get close. Then take pictures of the floating body
parts and put it on YouTube for the other pirates.

I say put Steve Zissou on every boat. He kicks pirate ass.

A cruise ship repelled boarders with an audio device.

I've read about those. That's a great device, and it seems to work
really well.

RPGs typically do not have much, if any, recoil. I fired the (now
obsolete) LAW and after firing it didn't know if it had ignited until
it hit the target.

The backblast would be far more dangerous, particularly in an
inflatable boat. If you care about your fellow soldiers you always
check your backblast area before firing. It can take your head off,
or, if angled upward, make fatal projectiles out of rocks.

Here's one for you. This guy didn't check his backblast area. Well, he
did, but he'd already fired:

In this one, watch the part in slow motion. Pay attention to the
shooter. You can see the lack of recoil:
