im on the fence with this one. on one hand they are helping out their country and its people. on the other, those ships and all the money belongs to others, and just because it goes twords some common good does not mean that it is just. also, we dont know who the pirates could be accociated with, im not saying that they are involved with al-queda or anything, but you never know. also what happens when they stumble upon some "special" cargo? the last time we transported a nuclear device the ship had no indication of its cargo. imagine the pirates finding a nuclear weapon. now imagine who they would sell it to, or perhaps what they would do with it themselves.
