If little Muhammed doesn't go off to sea, he doesn't have much of a life expectancy anyway. When the ransoms from piracy are a considerable chunk of the GDP of the country, there's not much on land to live for.

It's a rats nest that needs to be cleaned out, has needed some cleaning for a long time, but until the piracy started no one gave a damn.

Did you see a news mag report on what goes on inland?

No honor among thieves! The pirates are getting home buying all kinds of nice stuff only to get jacked by the landlocked pirates in their home town, that and gang wars, homicides and general mayhem.


I heard this a few days ago from a comedian. The joke was for the U..S. to take over Mexico, fix it up, then flip it!

I wonder what some Ocean Front property with plenty of room to 4WD in the back yard fetches?
