Why did Stephen Decatur raid Tripoli harbor and burn the USS Philadelphia down to the waterline?

Stephen Decatur raided Tripoli harbor and burned the USS Philadelphia to prevent the captured American warship from being used by the Barbary pirates against the U.S. Navy. The Philadelphia had been seized after running aground in 1803, and Decatur's daring mission in 1804 aimed to demonstrate American resolve and naval capability. Destroying the ship also served to boost morale and assert U.S. interests in the Mediterranean region during the First Barbary War.
