#1 "Piracy is a menace that is outpacing efforts by the international community to stem it,"

If those "efforts" weren't so pathetic, maybe they could stem it. As long as they pirates continue to be paid, they will continue doing it.

1. Stop paying them. 2. Start sinking them.

#3 No one has the courage to attack their nests. Can you imagine the international uproar of seeing the poor, innocent dead women and children from these helpless African villages, lying about broken and dying in the streets. The brutal rape, torture and murder by their own kind is viewed in gentlemanly circles as an acceptable cultural phenomenon, a tribal right as it were. The laying waste to their hives by former western oppressors is racist and unacceptable. Like the rest back home, these people too, must be socialized through deference and entitlement.

You think the Chinese would really care? BTW they are looking for naval ports to protect their overseas trade routes. I see two interests converging.

Can you imagine how little I care?

#6 Use a Q-ship to assemble the cliches, then arc-light them with F-150s packed with WillyPete.

#9 I see no reason to destroy villages and kill the women and children there. But it might reduce recidivism if the pirates themselves tended to disappear along with their boats.
