Curses! Foiled Again!

Pirates attacked the American ship “Liberty Sun” and they were foiled again by an American crew. Then they were “run off” by the same ship that foiled an earlier attempt, the “Bainbridge” with the captain of the original victim ship still aboard. You’d think they’d learn their lesson. Stay away from American ships! It might take a few more failures for them to learn their lesson and only go after other flags, whose owners are wimps enough to just PAY the ransom and count it as “a cost of doing business.” America does NOT pay ransom and will KILL you if you try. The pirates have promised to “hunt down and slaughter Americans” after three of them were killed trying to take over an American ship. They tried it, but it wasn’t as easy as they thought. I think they’ll learn soon to stay away from American ships, but they haven’t yet. That’s sure to reduce the number of teenage pirates out there. They think American shipping won't soon be armed, but they have another think coming. (Ryan 444)
