PIRATES VS MARINE .- .- EXTERNAL THREATS

"From the rooms of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli" reads the first verse of the Marines Hymn. It is no coincidence or evidence of a passion for the exotic. The first United States declared war in its history was against the Pasha of Tripoli for trying to impose a fee pirate. President Jefferson knew where to lead so great concession. The lethal and decisive joint action by the Navy and Marines persuaded the Pasha and his ilk along the coast that had not been a good idea and American merchant ships sailed again in peace. Then, as now, the U.S. president was aware that giving in to blackmail only begets more blackmail. Somalia and Yemen
frame the Gulf of Aden, the gateway to the Persian Gulf. In Somalia there is no state, a situation that bandits and Islamists exploit to install their operating centers. In Yemen, the state is weak, why Al Qaida has moved to this country for its network in Saudi Arabia. It seems unnecessary, for obvious highlight the importance of the Persian Gulf for our economy. For those thousands of ships sailing waters and is not acceptable for them to exercise any violence.
Both the U.S. and France have proven to understand the gravity of the situation and the only possible policy, go for them. The protection of the merchant fleet is one of the first missions of the Navy. Both international trade as Somalia in need and demand. Too many problems in the region and for us to feed our cowardice one more. The pirates operate because they can, because until recently no one suffocating and many paid. As the Pasha of Tripoli these bandits change of activity if they are faced with a decision.

does not make sense this "war." Intervening powers, can not afford - expensive cost - to keep those waters indefinitely, ships, aircraft, crews, and support. And pirates know. Thus or going to "get them out of their dens" - as was done with the Raisuni in Tazarut or Abdelkrim in Axdir - or be a waste of time ... and money. And besides, we ridicule.
