On the subject of pirates and though this was a few weeks back, Gordon Brown came out with a gem when asked about the Chandlers. "I believe those holding the Chandlers should respect international law".

Hmmm. How to be a pirate, whilst respecting international law...... I guess the solution is to make the international law and be its arbiter.

I should have thought the way I left my comment said it all?

Perhaps you misunderstood. I am all for lighting their ships up. With a bomb. Or those rocket things. Or even a sub with a great big hook on the top that could just drag their boats under the water.
