Put Somalia's Pirates to better use - hijacking Japanese whaling ships - 09/11/2009 14:23
Two problems. One solution.
The western world has been dumping on Somalia for years - their fisherman and locals have taken to hitting the seas hijacking ships to try and make ends meet.
I'd like to see a charity formed to provide these bandits with better boats and supplies, allowing them to travel to asia and start hijacking and perhaps even sinking a few Japanese ships.
It wouldn't even take an exorbitant amount of money to keep going once the whole thing was rolled into a new reality TV show to replace the current Whale Wars. Not to mention the ransom they could collect from the Japanese.
