Pirates Are Cool Again
Al Qaeda is no longer enemy number one. It turns out that the biggest threat to the international community is piracy. Previously, a pirate was simply a figment of a child’s imagination on Halloween night, but now we must accept that piracy is just as prevalent now as it was during the time when Long John Silver was at sea. Although this time around, most of them happen to be from Somalia.
Another threat to American security, but once again, the threat is seen as inherent, as if once again the enemy’s actions are purely fueled by their hatred towards “the land of the free”. So when anyone states that piracy is a retaliation to the fact that western ships are dumping toxic waste, thus depleting the fish population, which is key to the livelihood of the Somali people and the economy, don’t listen to them because they are irrational freedom-haters
