Somali pirates hijack Saudi oil tanker

[glatt]

I think it's one of those things where nobody is going to do anything about the problem until they have to. The percentage of ships who make it through unscathed is still high enough that the shipping and insurance companies consider the few who get seized to be the cost of doing business. With this recent US military intervention (which I support) I predict things will escalate and that will force the issue to be resolved. Either by the military or by the private sector. I think I'd prefer to see a private sector solution to this.
