  TBO, what should the Administration do to curb piracy? Should they attack the pirate's strongholds, or, police the seas, or, nothing more than we have done in past, or are doing today?

  Also of note, and ironically, today is Thomas Jefferson's birthday. If you recall, during his Administration, he deployed a naval squadron to fight the Barbary pirates, who were harassing American commerce in the Mediterranean. They were soundly and swiftly defeated. They never bothered us again.
