Why aren't other ships doing the same? This has been going on far too long.

I'll be sure to note in every thread the religious upbringing of all xian criminals from now on, because you know, their crime are all based on their religion.

I think its because of a maritime law that forbids civilian ships to be armed. Or maybe its just in port that they cannot have arms. I guess they could lock them up.

In any event, this is the way of the future. Any business that has the potential for problems hires security. Much of that security is armed. You see it everywhere you go.

These shipping companies will begin to employ armed security for these ships. I'm quite sure that Blackwater is talking to some of them right now.

Your assumption is correct. Only the most obtuse and uneducated would assume otherwise, as the vast majority of Somalis are Sunni. Well, except anyone foolish enough to be Christian, but they would most likely already be dead; as the mandate by the Islam Court system which governs the country decrees their death.

Only stupid fools will go up against a nation which knows what happens to those who can't defend themselves. The Israelis will stomp on countries like Iran and think nothing of it. It’s all about survival.
