How to Fight Piracy

I can’t believe those French idiots! They used a warship to capture pirates! Don’t they know that if they have weapons they will only embolden the terrorists. They will only cause more deaths!

So, Somali pirates arrive in a couple of dinghies at a “merchant ship”, fire their Kalishnikovs in the air, and then get captured because the merchant ship was really a French warship.

And no one was hurt.

It’s almost like they scared them off. Kind of like, the pirates just want a quick buck instead of actually risking their lives. Weird.
