America got what it wanted, and it'll leave and the pirates will be back. Somalia has nothing that the rest of the world wants therefor there is nothing to gain from helping them and I hardly see other countries positioning naval bases there out of the "kindness of their hearts". I know it sounds cold, but I mean... the Somalian pirates aren't a new phenomenon, they've been there for quite a while, but all of a sudden Americans care because it was finally one of their own. People are all up in arms now with a blood thirst vengeance but when the body bags start coming back peoples' opinions will change.
