Pakistan is NOT tied to the pirates. Why would they kidnap Pakistanis if that was the case?
and how do we really know the pakistani coast guard is not conniving with those somalis? the value of money in the third world is astronomical my man...
but yea, i suppose maybe thats just the cynic in me spewing conspiracies...Last edited by talip bin osman; 05-16-2012, 05:35 PM.

People must recall that although 'semi industrialized', Pakistan is a developing country and such generosity isnt always common in the developing world. He is paying out of patriotism, to save - in his words - his 'brothers'.
Yes, some are saying "dude, what a bad precedent", but some are hailing him for using his vast wealth in a country with many poor people- for someone else's benefit.

The ship, MV Albedo, is Malaysian. I guess like many merchant ships, it has crewmen of all states working on it.
Perhaps Malaysian insurance didnt want to or couldnt pay.

If these guys are saved, I wonder if Egyptian or Lebanese business moguls will pay up for their countrymen?

Where are the damn navies???
AFAIK this age we live in.......you cant really shoot at pirates?
Man they should just send out a dozen warship out there and just blast them...
They should just have a bunch of frigates with HELO pads on them so if they get a call the chopper can get there quickly and blast them.
Or simply arm the crew with weapons...or at least have say 2 men on board with some kinda arms to blow them up in their little boats.Last edited by Banderivets; 05-16-2012, 11:22 PM.
