The crew abroad the cargo ships this is their home away from home, therefore if someone enters your home not invited carrying fire power they are putting your life in danger therefore it is permissible to protect yourself by shooting to kill. The solution is very simple take the politics out of this all together and do what has to be done.

In the process of updating this post I linked to EagleSpeak's latest and he has another post from yesterday with a link to a news article where officials claim that the Strait was pirate-free in 2007. http://eaglespeak.blogspot.com/2008/04/what-cooperation-brings-malacca-straits.html Huh, no sooner did I leave this comment that I found that the Malacca Strait was apparently “piracy-free” thanks to joint patrols by neighboring countries.

It's been a subject we've covered extensively here at 3plwire.com since our earliest days. The countries involved in the Malacca Strait (Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia) have been involved in regional policing in an effort to curb piracy. While I haven't followed up on their progress in quite some time, they did see overall attacks decrease in 2006, not sure how they did in 2007.

The worst in the world are the malay straits. Even container ships get attacked every year. This stuff happens regularly. These guys are mostly hit and run raiders looking for cash and portable goods. There are no deep see Blackbeards any more. Not when a P-3 Orion can find them and sink them. Shipping companies make a point of going through the malay straits at speed and with fire arms ready.
