Next Stop: Somalia

Via Daniel Koffler, Bill Kristol can solve the world's piracy problems in just a single paragraph:

And while [Bush is] at it, perhaps he could tell various admirals to stop moaning about how difficult it would be to deal with the pirates off the coast of Somalia (isn't keeping the shipping lanes open a core mission of the Navy?) and order the Navy to clobber them. If need be, the Marines would no doubt be glad to recapitulate their origins and join in by going ashore in Africa to destroy the pirates' safe havens.

Presumably after the Marines have come ashore and the safe havens are destroyed, Somalia will become a beacon of democracy that will transform North Africa by its example.
