INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING FORCE SHOULD BLOW PIRATES OUT OF THE WATER

I think this would be the best solution. An Ethiopian -led force is leaving soon and the US wants to put an international peacekeeping force in Somalia. I think this would be a mistake. The US had to withdraw in the past, their mission failed.

The administration states that the US Navy is the world's predominate sea power and believes in freedom of navigation. Now the pirates are targeting cruise ships. Some countries are saying if they capture these pirates, where would they hold them and where would they go on trial. They do not want another Guantanamo Bay.

I believe that with our advanced technology, we could dispatch some fighter jets to the area of these freighters that are being approached by unknown boats and blow them out of the water.
