[QUOTE="soberups, post: 515150, member: 14668"] The best thing Obama could have done in this situation...is to keep his mouth shut and let the professionals who are on the scene handle it. Which is exactly what happened, which is why the pirates are dead and the captain is safe. This problem will not end until the shipowners stop paying ransoms and start arming the crews. The Israelis have adopted a hard line on terrorism and hostage-taking in that they refuse to negotiate with terrorists and will not under any cirumstances bow to the demands of hostage takers. We need to adopt the same attitude. [/QUOTE]
