Pirates Don't Understand The Rules

(I struggled to write a good pirate joke without argh in it-I failed)

If you don't live in a cave you heard how the American captain was rescued from pirates. What I found interesting was their reaction to America's "3 headshots for a hostage" take on the standard eye for an eye policy. (Keep in mind that 3 headshots were taken to knock out the pirate captors while on the open seas, rendering this difficult and awesome). The pirates, from Somalia, were outraged that the Navy SEALs killed 3 of their associates.

"The pirates told a Somali journalist that they were angered by the U.S. action, as well as a French raid Friday that killed two pirates and one hostage and freed four hostages.
'We have decided to kill U.S. and French sailors if they happen to be among our future hostages,' said Abdullahi Ahmed, a member of a pirate group based at Harardhere, a coastal town in central Somalia."

This from the same group that negotiated a deal to swap the American captain for one of the pirates that was captured but did not hold up their end of the bargain and instead continued to hold the captain hostage.

Somalians are apparently the kids who always made up their own rules during games so they could win. So parents look for that because your son or daughter may be playing with a future pirate.
