I think I heard on CNN this morning that the area involved is one billion square miles. The pirates will have to lose a mother ship or three and then they may stop. It is possible that since that area of the world is dirt poor even that may not deter them.

One question, since so many countries are affected by this why are we always looked at to be the cop ?
