Pirates

What should the U.S. do about pirates?
Got into a heated discussion with my buddy over some beers last night.
Though i do think it's pretty bad ass the way we rolled up and sniped the shit out of the somali pirates, i don't think that it's something the government should get involed with.
The ships that are being attacked are privately run companys. I think they should be responsible for the safety of their own ships rather than rely on tax payer money to keep their profits safe. If they were within U.S. soil that would be a different story.
We already have a bad image around the world, and then they were talking about going in wherever the pirates landed to prosecute them. I think that has the danger of getting us involved with another conflict with another country that we dont need.
Thoughts?
