I beg to differ with your non-factual rhetoric in regards to Somali pirates.
FACT 1.. THe Piracy has been going on for less than 20 years. only since the civil war that struck them in 1991. further, you are totally off base in regards to what the reasons they hijack ships.
Fact 2 The hijack is to procure ransom, not to feed families big screen TV's as you incorrectly imply. Fact3 The reason for so many somali's turning to hijacking has been recognized by many world organizations as many fold. of these recognized factors is illegal overfishing by international commercial outfits off somlias coast which depleted the fisheries and doomed the Somali fishermen to starvation..
As far as the Phillipines. Yes guerilla forces fighting for their independence from our imperialist agenda.
Fact: America BOUGHT the phillipines from Spain for $20m dollars.
Fact:In spite of the emergence of the first Phillipine Republic america brutally attacked the phillipinos with a brutal and inhumane," Scorched earth campiagn" An estimated 1,000,000 phillipinos, men, women and children were killed.
FAct: The phillipines was not granted independence until after the end of the war.
I have to ask. Do you actually do any research before you speak on matters, or do you just post what you think without such. Every single thing I posted to present your rhetoric as non-factual can easily be found in a search engine.
FACT 1 you made all them "facts" up its well known that fish populations world wide are getting lower and lower but you dont see any one else hijacking huge ships with $50m worth of oil.
FACT 2 the avrige ransome for a hyjacked ship is 10 million $ yh i bet there starving poor people its the west's fault for fishing there waters.
FACT 3 a big amout of money is exported to big crime rings.
these scum bags are no better than the mafia its not about food its about money just one ship a year would feed the whole of somalia and the surrounding contreys.
