It is now a big business in Somalia. And, there are now a lot of pirates there, and a whole lot more on training.... There was this CNN Features Report where a housewife was very proud of the material gains they got from her husband, who is a pirate. She now wears expensive watch; they have TV and refrigerator. And the economy in their area is booming because of the ransom money they're getting.... It is a crime against property, but they're mighty proud of it!
Scratch that, just a full scale invasion of Somalia (including its waters) might be enough. Burn all the pirates then we'll all be fine.
This also is an opportunity to test a new weapon of mass destruction (mini Hydrogen Bomb?) so it will not be a surprise if they use something new there during the rescue of the victims.
