I am sick and tired of the emotinally charged and romantic label of pirates, being granted to the Somalian hoodlums.
When FARC kidknapped the French/Columbian politician, were they refered to as Pirates? When Udi Avni was kidknapped in the Niger Delta, were pirates involved?
The armed robbers who ply their trade on the seas are no different from those who operate on land.
Counjering up romantic notions of hooked hands and parrots on their shoulders, only serves to grant them legitimacy in this part of the world. |
