Captain Phillips Freed, Now What?
Thank God that Captain Phillips has been freed. I am so happy about the outcome. Yes, three men have died, but how many more will not be killed and how much suffering will not happen due to these 3 deaths? Maybe, some of the pirates might think next time –Hey, I might actually get killed for doing this?! Yes, Captain Phillips is free but what about the other 200 hostages and ships that the Somali pirates have? If we as Americans are going to police the world (which in my opinion we are) why don’t we use our true might! Should it have taken three US Navel vessels a helicotor and 5 days to free the captain of the U.S. flagged Maersk Alabama? I feel as if nobody thinks like I do, and I feel as if I just want everybody to be a little safer… Maybe I just need to smoke salvia and chill!

Well said. The captain did an amazing job. I have searched Captain Phillips at Ares Downloads and found that I get all the news clips onto my iPod. Peace.

Well if you ask me, it has taken us much longer than necessary to free captains philips. I would have killed these bastards right off the bat. No negotiations.. no nothing or we just end up condoning such behaviour and perhaps encouraging more of this stupendous act. But you are right, Ares has been a good source of updates for me while I was following the story.
