Yep, Rot beat Steyn to the punch. But then Steyn gets on fire: Once upon a time we killed and captured pirates. Today, it's all more complicated. Attorney General Eric Holder has declined to say whether the kidnappers of the American captain will be "brought to justice" by the U.S. "I'm not sure exactly what would happen next," declares the chief law-enforcement official of the world's superpower. But some things we can say for certain. Obviously, if the United States Navy hanged some eye-patched, peg-legged blackguard from the yardarm or made him walk the plank, pious senators would rise to denounce an America that no longer lived up to its highest ideals, and the network talking-heads would argue that Plankgate was recruiting more and more young men to the pirates' cause, and judges would rule that pirates were entitled to the protections of the U.S. Constitution and that their peg legs had to be replaced by high-tech prosthetic limbs at taxpayer expense.
Meanwhile, basket-case jurisdictions send out ever bolder freelance marauders to prey on the civilized world with impunity. Don't be surprised if "the civilized world" shrivels and retreats in the face of state-of-the-art reprimitivization. From piracy to nukes to the limp response of the hyperpower, this is not a "distraction" but a portent of the future.
The rosy pinko future, as envisioned by Pepe. Ululululu.

Everything is a distraction from something else. Duhhh...
That was a distracting comment. This is a Kayla thread.
Try this thread, then.
The first objective: don't let the pirates get any closer to their shore.

Is he talking to Pepe?

I know all about the civilized world. I just spent 3 days in College Station.
All hail the American Heart of Whiteness.
What a silly name, College Station. Couldn't they think of something more glamorous down there? Like in, Paris, Texas?
There was one early Dean who proposed "Universite' de Paris XIX-Tejas".
He was found floating belly up down the Pecos one fine dawn soon thereafter.
And rightly so.
