Somali pirates hijack Saudi oil tanker

Read a thing yesterday that pointed out that most civilized countries have an interest in seeing the piracy continue.

The pirates are enemies of the very Islamic government of Somalia. It's recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism and not interested in rule of law. Western business interests are slightly affected but not very much. The best thing that could happen is if the Somalian government would just go away, but to have this boil on its ass is not a bad thing.
