The US now has a bigger problem here, the attack on the Somali pirates (which was justified) is having backlashes with an attack by Somali gunmen on a US Senator just after a news conference where he mentioned that there needs to be more done on the pirates.

I am annoyed.
The United States should not worry what others may do if we kill Pirates and terrorists. We should not care what the backlash will be. I think the Somalis should worry more what the Backlash will now be because they perpetrated the first act of Piracy against the United States in 200 years.

The pirates need to worry that they will wake up to a guided missile in their backyard and a bullet in there brain the next time they attack a United States flagship. They need to worry about the backlash, we do not.
