Political correctness encouraging piracy

[Magnus]

Ooooh. Finally someone who says something and is at least a bit informed:

Over-fishing from European and other countries and dumping of toxic waste seems to be a different problem than piracy...I don't see how they are connected?

Are you suggesting we feel bad for the local fishermen because nothing was done about the above problems, but now there is an international response due to the hijackings?

I'm not saying the fisherman in that article is lying, but where is all the evidence of this dumping? Other than a few bits of hearsay...same with the over-fishing. Hard to say if any of those ships are respecting Somalia's international waters...the article doesn't mention it. As for illegal drag netting...that's been going on all over the world for how long now?
