But you also have to recognize that killing the pirates is like popping a zit. Until you take the acutane, your acne isn't going away.
Thats pretty well the only choice you have. To protect innocent lives. So you broadcast one message on a radio band that you know that the pirates use, you declare a 1000 mile maritime exclusion zone, and anything that enters the zone with no permission is killed without warning.

We've tried intervention there, they don't want our help, so why bother.
