No, no, no. You've got it all wrong. They are freedom fighters protecting their sovereign land, not pirates. For shame.

Viva the warriors of freedom, fighting for their share of the worlds wealth against thieving capitalists exploiting their territory.

But how did the pirates get in their AIDS tests, transcripts, and criminal apostilles so quickly before being allowed to board the ship?

Indeed. Why bother to get their country in order when they can just steal what other, actually productive people's produce?

Aren't pirates by definition thieving capitalists themselves?

One man's pirate is anothers freedom fighter...Redistributing wealth from the greedy hands of a few rich bourgousie and giving to the poor.

Ride on, gallant knights of the ocean, heralding a new dawn of equity and equality, advancing the rights of the third world against its capitalist oppressor.

If you think that is what these pirates are doing, I want what you are smoking.

Oh look, a south korean warship has caught up with the hijacked tanker.

But what can they do about it?

Nothing. Wink

Infiltrate the tanker and waste those silly somali skinny pirates effortlessly.

I'd like to say something, but my inability to tell who's being sarcastic and who's being serious is preventing me!
