@DENNIS CATANIA
I DID NOT WRITE OR EXPRESSED THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA whom I do respect for
his peace intentions , is BLACK / WHITE or YELLOW.
Neither do I need you lecturing me on his mother / father / grandmother.
You are so naive that you put pen to paper without ever readt any american history.
No, america did'nt enter europe, america declared war with JAPAN on false pretencise .
When america could'nt win on JAPAN, they dropped the two ATOM BOMBS and committed the WORLD MOST unimmanigable atrocious act on humanity.
Was the RUSSIAN's that fought GERMANY , later america came in.
That might have happened in some european countries, but american were'nt in MALTA during war.
The link was put on for you and your like who's mothers where in sicilia.

Unfortunately no US ship was there to defend the peace-boats who were attacked by other 'pirates' earlier this week! Nor does the US fleet intervene when others 'pirates' dump their waste near the Somali coast or destroy their habitat and livehood through over-fishing ...God Bless America indeed!

@EDWIN DELIA
Thank GOD the black americans elected PRESIDENT OBAMA, whom the world hope
is a man of PEACE and somehow will solve the PALESTINIAN cause.
If he was defeated then by now you would be in ration to all your requirments

You either live in dreams or hallucinate with brain wash that the usa donate / help any
country ,if that country have nothing in abundance to return.
All world invasions - wars and problems were and are created by the usa since 1884.
Seems you can type but not read history

Re US warship helping a Maltese flagged ship near Somalia. Get your facts straight, people before rushing into print, and don't condemn one good act by juxtaposing it with another. In other words, thallatx il hass mal bass!!! Excuse my French!!!!!
European vision of what is happening in the US is very ill-informed and biased. No one is perfect, especially politicians, but at least get facts straight and don't believe the liberal media and their agenda.

Again America comes to Malta's rescue. Should the United States have minded their own business and let the crew of this Maltese flagged ship be put in danger ? When the world can't police it self and it can't as history has shown. The U.S.A will come to the rescue. The ones that complain about the U.S.A getting involved should put themselves in the shoes of the abducted and or the oppressed. GOD BLESS AMERICA and Malta too.

I am against pirates,but when we buy a pirated ..CD,that is piracy too. About the Somali pirates........go to google and type` somali pirates`.That is the other side of the coin........I know,I know.............two wrongs do noy make a right ....try telling that to the Somalis who`s children were killed from toxic waste and other heavy metals...dumped close to their shores illegally.

How many tons of toxic nuclear waste the USA dumped in the Mediterranean basin and near Somalia coasts?
Creating the conditions for disasters in planet earth in forms of wars, terrorism, banking, immigration, swine flu ….etc and then selling yourself as the best country/ person to handle this disaster is a bad product that I do not buy.

The U.S. Navy was doing what its mandate (and those of other nations in the U.N. and NATO) off the coastal waters off of Somalia was made for: defending merchant and civilian vessels against piracy from any individuals inclined to undertake such an act.

People who complain about the U.S. as being the 'world's policeman' only need to read a bit of history to see that if it weren't them, it would be someone else. They're not perfect, but no one really is as far as I know.

U.S. foreign policy may be somewhat misguided at times, but this instance is definitely one I would chalk up on their 'win' column.
