RE: RE: RE: Pirate Answer - Part II   [Steve Schippert]

Not arguing or even picking a bone with you, Thomas. My RE:'s are not directed at you, but are existential and largely rhetorical in nature.

Your point referencing Darfur is a good one. At the same time, the logic both for or against taking some action for the captive crew could be buttressed with the argument of, "It's not an entire country in conflict, we're only talking about four crew members."

On one hand, in the greater regional scheme of things, it's not that big of a deal. Yet on the other, the counter to that is that it is not all that difficult to pull off.
