Thought of the Week:
- The world’s governments are waking up to the sobering fact that the gazillion-dollar warships they’ve sent to the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean can’t keep up with the region’s elusive pirates. The hijackers’ simple, brutal tactics are too effective. Their business model is too attractive. And they’ve got nothing to lose but their lives.

Germany on Saturday took control of the EU's anti-piracy Operation "Atalanta." But despite European efforts to combat piracy along the Horn of Africa, attacks on ships are on the rise.
Deutsche Welle, August 13, 2011
- Somalia's 3,000-mile-long (4,800-kilometer) coastline is pirate territory. This area is considered to be the most dangerous stretch of the Indian Ocean. With Somalia's interim government seen as too weak, European naval vessels have been patrolling the waters since 2008. The European Union's Atalanta mission is engaged in an area roughly the size of the Mediterranean and has cost EU taxpayers eight million euros ($11.4 million) this year alone.
