PIRATES AS A THREAT. Pirates of the Caribbean are now fantastic, fun, the Western Indian Ocean, flesh and bone and lethal. They have become regular news and concern of strategists at the highest level in more advanced nations. According to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, National Security Council of the United States has been busy lately it almost daily. From the almost nonexistent Somalia, with the longest coast across Africa, these bandits of the sea covering an area bigger and bigger, three times Spain, including the Gulf of Aden, southeast of the Arabian Peninsula, which means access to the Red Sea and therefore ultimately threatening nothing less than the traffic that passes through the Suez Canal. Are eclipsing, as news, other more senior colleagues, operating in Southeast Asia, near the Strait of Malacca between the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesia island of Sumatra, at whose entrance is located on the east Singapore. We are talking about two vital points in traffic global sea routes in the two major oil companies in the world, to the east and oeste.Hay who contemplates the possibility of being reborn again piracy in the Mediterranean, from some points of its southern coast. It is not entirely implausible. And the example is likely to spread to other parts of the world, so we'd be jumping back over a century, as British and American navies eradicate this scourge of mankind in the nineteenth century. Why not now if are much more powerful? Hopefully everything will walk, but for now, the obstacles are varied. The owners are much more willing to pay ransoms to support a confrontational attitude. Pirates layers but miserable from a country that deserves the name rather than a purely geographical sense, it is supported and advanced technologies such as GPS with securing its position accurately. His arms, despicable for a modern warship, no rival in the unarmed merchant navy crews. On the ground are in close contact with the Islamic militias that control much of the country and several port cities. The shelter, the fund, train and profit from the spoils. These militias are allied with Al-Qaida and several of its reported bin Laden and al-Zawahiri praised their activities. Without doubt, the service as efficient organization studies analyzes them diligently and possible future expansion plans. Their agents in the Persian Gulf and other purely commercial spirit Somalis provide information on routes and cargamentos.La recent release of the captain of an American cargo gives us an idea of \u200b\u200bhighly asymmetric nature of the confrontation. A large destroyer against a lifeboat. Supplying patrol boats of this size indefinitely in the middle of the ocean is not easy or cheap, or even to American naval power, which is not designed to fight a guerrilla such sea. But the biggest problem so far has been a very restrictive rules of engagement, typical of a world where piracy had been reduced to stories of adventure. And do not talk of preemptive surrender that characterized the trio Zapatero, Moratinos, Chacón, not to mention Bono, who prefers to kill our soldiers, pardon him, to shoot at the enemy. But Obama's latest initiative and the almost simultaneous French detain suspects in the sea and take them to France for trial hopefully things start to change. If Garzón permitting.
