I like the way someone put it earlier today. Yes, the pirates are obviously the bad guys.... but when your life is hell it's much easier for an otherwise good person to become a bad guy.
Ethics are a luxury of those that can feed their families.

As for bombing the mansions of the warlords, they have considered selective bombings, but they will kill a lot more innocent people than guilty. They tried that 2 years ago when there were rumours that Fazul Abdullah Mohammed was in Somalia. They bombed sites for 3 days trying to kill him, and they did kill 27 people including women and children. Tony Snow said they believed they killed the terrorist, but he was captured and escaped from Kenyan police last August so he is definitely still alive.
