Somali Pirates Make My Brain Hurt

So, I'm sure everyone is aware of the Somali pirates attempting to hijack Maersk Alabama, failing, then holding the captain for ransom. US Navy snipers disposed of them when one pointed an AK-47 at the captain being held hostage.

According to CNN, a Somali pirate named Ali Nur said, "The killing of our boys was aggression, and the U.S. will see what they get from their operation."

That's right, killing armed people who hijack unarmed merchant ships and hold the crew (and/or the ship) for ransom are complaining about who is being aggressive.

Kill 'em all I say.

Pirates aren't all bad thouogh. Here are some pirates we all can agree on:
