So the pirates are upset that 3 of them were killed yesterday:

I really think that is unwise to broadcast that information to the world. America is a country where we have the 2nd Ammendment. So if those pirates want to vow revenge on an American ship, all that is going to do is encourage American sailors to bring their weapons to sea with them. Security personnel will be hired on boats (just like sailing ships in the 1600s had cannons on them) and pirates will be in a world of hurt.
Some innocent American sailors may die because of this, but at least they've now been given a heads up that they may want to pack heat when they leave the house for a couple of months at sea. Somalia needs some help getting their country together (hey EU, UN, how about a little help here?), and until that happens, it seems like having small security details on shipping vessels might be a necessary precaution....
