In 2010 polls, Filipinos should be well-educated. They must not choose candidates just because of popularity. Instead, those who have a real for the Filipinos. Vote PANLILIO FOR PRESIDENT!

I’M sick to my stomach despite what is happening in my country,BUT for those three young men whome got killed by the most powerful nation on earth, Where are their bodies? Did you just kill and dump them in the water. I’m so interested to find out. Also where is the young man that you have captured alive. Just to let you know all four men have families.I never felt that the somaalian young men would kill capt. Richard phillip, to make my point of view clear.If they wanted to kill capt. Richard phillip they had 5days to do so.They where young,confused and didn’t have a way out.

“They should have cut Richard Phillips head off and dumped his body in a pool of nuclear waste… How long shall they capture justice and let the guilty go free?”
exactly how credible is your source?
And when did Phillips ever deserve to have his head cut off he just saved his crew.
These pirates are holding people ransom for money, there are no demands on illegal dumping or fishing. And most wouldnt consider it fair to have an innocent man killed for a cause of “saving somalian waters from nuclear waste”. these pirates are taking innocent men some of which I know personally. If you think that they should keep ransoming innocent people go to Somalia yourself or interview the families of the captured men. thank you

While the story of the ‘pirates’ has been oversimplified, to wish for the death of another human being only diminishes your argument. He is someone’s son, just as you are. Shame on you.

But I think the Huffington article also doesn’t tell the complete story: What about the Somalis who are capturing ships carring World Food Program food aid for the starving people of Somalia? What about the pirates who are sailing FAR outside the territorial waters mentioned in the story, chasing ships out into international shipping lanes? THEY are NOT defending their country! They are true ‘sea gansters’, and they do not warrant the same treatment as those who are ostensibly patroling local waters.

Also, if the point was truly to protect their lands from dumping, why do they keep the money and the ‘loot’ for themselves? It’s one thing if they were using the money for something bigger than their own enrichment, but I guess the saying is true: Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I’m sorry for your country that it is being so affected. But the pirates never face any consequences for their actions, and THEY have begun escalating the situation by going outside their countries waters and by targeting innocent crews and ships instead of only those which seek to do harm. The situation cannot continue as it has, and perhaps this will finally move the world past the status-quo to do something to help Somalia – or at least to formulate a plan to protect ALL people who depend on the sea – including your citizens (even though I’m a so-called “white devil”). Best regards from the US.
