One of the great achievements of the early 19th century was the suppression of piracy in most global shipping corridors; this was rightly regarded as a crucial milestone in the advance of civilization. Conversely, the resurgence of piracy is a troubling indicator of a backsliding into barbarism. As the strongest military power on the planet, the United States has a unique responsibility--and President Obama has a unique opportunity--to reassert the supremacy of international law and order on the high seas. Jefferson's greatest legacy after the Declaration of Independence, perhaps, was his war against the Barbary pirates. Obama should take a leaf from his presidency.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616106414422271836noreply@blogger.com
