The best way to find right answers is to ask the right questions. > What should we have done with that captain and those 4 pirates? > > Get specific, here. > As I've said, there was no choice in this case (given a best effort was made at negotiations). The right thing would've been to prevent it in the first place which, if you listened to what the crew said, was NOT done. Now we're in a mess we have to get out of and that should probably involve all kinds of diplomacy and foreign aid. There's 2 ways to play this: 1.) Tough guys. This way NEVER works for the US because we're not. We're not willing to machine gun villages and we're not good at urban occupations, nor do we like them, nor should we like them. 2.) Nice guys. Time to dust off that diplomacy. Sucks, but it beats the the other choice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:294895 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
