Which president fought a war with pirates?
The Barbary Pirates were North Africans who captured, looted and sank American merchant ships. In order for the ships to get by the merchant ships had been paying a tribute to them, but Jefferson was elected President in 1800 and declared he would not pay one penny as tribute to the pirates. Therefore, he sent a battleship to end the blockade. However, the ship was sunk and another ship was captured. Jefferson payed $60,000 in ransom for the ship and its crew and signed a peace treaty with the pirates. This ordeal humiliated the United States but also made Jefferson realize the need for a naval force.
Why are Somalian pirates allowed to keep doing what they do?
There is now some opposition to what the Somalian pirates are doing, which is probably making some of them think twice about becoming pirates. But the area (West Indian Ocean) in which they work is so vast, so large, that it is hard to keep them all under surveillance. And the ships that they attack, at least in the past have been seldom armed for defense. And because they have been fairly successful in the past, and there are so few ways to earn big money in their country, they have a lot of determination to earn it by piracy, which seems the easiest thing for them to do. So they will continue, because many of them still get away with this act of theft, until there are easier ways to patrol, watch, and sink their ships on a regular basis.
