>I think the Somalis are about to find out that the US, Britain and France have the capability to quietly terminate what are determined to be lethal threats to its citizens - or business interests. A lot of it won't make the papers, but will definitely make the point. My guess is there is about to be a very large reduction in the Somali pirate population. Being a pirate is a much different proposition than being a jihadi. Getting killed isn't a win.
