I would like to see the U.S. Military send out armed decoy trade ships and when the pirates come out they get cut to ribbons. Let this happen a couple of dozen times and let's see if the Somali pirates continue to be so bold.
Real U.S. trade ships in the region should be equipped with four 50 caliber machine guns with trained gunners, 2 on each side and pirates would have no chance.
