Pirates What?

 

      We have all heard of pirate on the seas to this day pirates are all around the world Brain Murphy explains in his article: US Marines take back pirate-held ship off Somalia. A German owed cargo vessel was reclaimed by the U.S. Navy. The plain was to reach the deck of the ship using small crafts. After on the ship the U.S. navy and the cobra support was too much for the Pirates who barricaded themselves in the ship. Amazingly no Americans were killed and some pirates were captured as prisoners.


      What is going on I can hardly get my mind around fighting over seas in Afghanistan. Pirates are to my surprise still very much active and deadly. This is only one of many incidents that have accorded in the high seas. I find it hard to fathom the idea of pirates and the abilities of a group of people with fire arms and an ambition. The pirates stood no chance against the power of the U.S. I come to realize that our fears of monsters in the closet and blood thirsty demons exist in the world today. The same world in which you live and breathe in. How can we have evil in the world while I’m surrounded by good: people, food, teachers, and mentors. The extreme differences of what your surroundings can do to change the person you are and will be.
