In my article number 198, I wrote about the piracy off the coast of Somalia and the rescue by the United States government. Some disagreed with my position.
To explain a bit further, from the standpoint of right and wrong, I only understand that which is wrong from two things and that is thievery and violation of Natural Law. Admittedly there are things I may not like in my value system, but getting down to the nitty gritty of right and wrong; it’s only those two things I understand as being wrong.

Much in the news this week about the hijacked American Ship headed for Somalia with a load of supplies for the people of that country. We are hearing just how pervasive this mode of operation is for the terrorist of that region.
According to the news, several Pirates (terrorists) boarded the ship, pulling along side in a high powered speed boat which sank. After boarding the American vessel, they kidnapped the ship’s Captain, who, as the news reports volunteered to go instead of crew member. The hijacker left with the ship’s Captain on one of the ship’s lifeboats at gunpoint.
