An Indian navy warship has destroyed a suspected Somali pirate vessel after it came under attack in the Gulf of Aden.
India is among several countries already patrolling the Gulf of Aden, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes which connects the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.
INS Tabar has been patrolling the Gulf of Aden since 23 October, and has escorted 35 ships safely through the "pirate-infested waters", the statement said.
People in the modern world don't understand decisive action. "But what if I were a pirate... would I want to be fired upon?"
No, of course you wouldn't. What they put into process with their attitudes and votes thus neutralizes their society, which soon is afraid to bust anyone for anything without a lengthy paper trial and a "Curing Piracy: How Positive Thinking Can Make You Stop Hijacking International Vessels" pamphlet.
The few people who still have independent thought are ready to get things done however by getting out there and asking all boats what their purpose is. Legitimate people answer; pirates run, and then you can blast them full of holes.
Yes, their civil rights have been violated.
No, it's not ideal.
But here's the kicker --
Yes, it solves the problem, and good people aren't penalized for the "rights" of bad people.
Grow up and face reality, The West.

"But my mother always said that violence solves nothing"
"My mother said violence never solves anything." "So?" Mr. Dubois looked at her bleakly. "I'm sure the city fathers of Carthage would be glad to know that."
"Anyone who clings to the historically untrue — and thoroughly immoral — doctrine that "violence never solves anything" I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms."
