Rich countries cannot feed poorer countries! Every bite of food sent creates ten new candidates for aid! Pirates in Africa are the strongest and most aggressive chance-takers of the population there, and must be recognized as brothers by the marauding oil-hungry Americans - they will rule the world with their extraordinary courage and are worthy of survival! Spray the rest with bug poison to allow more food and resources for the pirates and their off-spring and breed them, and they will sustain mankind in the long run! A very few sperm donors on this earth are worthy, kill off all others and keep only the best, brightest, most courageous, cunning and healthy. This works well in the U.S. The military, the sink-hole for those not bright enough to succeed, and the American Medical Cartel and its selection committees ready to trim off and kill the unemployed, unemployables, by refusing them medical care and assuring their certain death! This keeps the American population fit and ready, culled and clean. Same should apply to Africans. God bless and God speed the gutsy pirate who approaches an oil tanker from a leaky skiff, hope in his heart and fueled by his dreams! The world needs more like him and fewer fat-assed pencil pushers in air-conditioned offices with all their needs met! Good on the black bastards! Good on them! They are almost as good blood as the English buccaneers who built this modern society.

What better place to begin a depopulation of the human animal than the cradle of humanity and no better place for the dumping ground of poisons from the ‘advanced’ part of humanity. At the least shows all the stupid human tricks that people love to play on those that are least likely to stand up for themselves.

We can begin by banning the false international law that allows Scotland, China, Australia, Spain and the other far away sub-super powers to exploit the fisheries near Somalia, Namibia and other poorer countries.  Is there any wonder as to why these pirates are referred to, at times, as ‘fisherman”?

Good cartoon. It shows why poverty anywhere in the world is our problem. Obama is gaining political points for the successful Navy Seal operation, which indeed was a job well done, but he will not solve this problem in the long run except by finding a way to improve economic conditions in Somalia. The military can do only so much.

Yes. Wonderful to be able to make one’s point without words, beyond title.
