And how exactly would that solve anything?
That would be like bombing Palermo or Naples just because the Mafia is there.

Oh aye, lets bomb a large number of women and children, old people, farmers, people who aren't pirates... that sounds like a fantastic idea.
Internet tough-guy-ism is pointless and makes you look like a fool. Please don't.

Or to choose an example a little closer to home for you, it would be like Bombing Austin or Houston just because there's organized crime there.

Thank you. In this case it probably has to do with the fact that I'm a potential victim of these people.
Indeed, I've been less than a couple of miles from being on the receiving end of a pirates tender graces.

Well, currently I'm attending school, but I sail on tankers as part of my traineeshp.
So far I've sailed with Torm Vita and Torm Freya as well as a short stay on Torm Estrid.
Before that I sailed for six months on the training ship Georg Stage as a trainee.

The idea of a convoy is good, until they get serious weapons like anti tank rifles and RPG's, but I suppose the convosy would also slow world trade a bit
