I think we need to bring back Letters of Marque.  That would take care of that Somali pirate problem.   ;D

Careful with that axe, Eugene ...... the slippery slope would have Blackwater, et. al. working here ...... and I, for one, would be against them.  The day "private security" showed up in Mudville and started giving orders like they were the civil government is the day that ...... well, all hell broke loose in Mudville.
