history repeats itself

This country has once again had a problem with Muslim pirates off the coast of Africa again, which reminds me of the Barbary Wars between 1801 and 1815. The difference two hundred years later is that the US navy, instead of attacking Algiers, is floating around doing nothing. Why not put these ships to some use instead of floating there and have them escort the cargo ships going around Somalia?

I will write on economics some time this weekend, if I can muster the energy after a long first week.

yes... and I wonder why? - May God have mercy on us all!

If we are NOT careful that is NOT all that will be painfully and dreadfully repeated!
