The poverty of ambition of your Somalian pirate

There’s a lot of angst about those Somalian pirates nicking all that oil at gunpoint. Is is their lack of ambition that offends us, I wonder? When we did it on a much larger scale in 2003, we all clapped like seals, didn’t we?

    It’s the poor timing that offends. If they’d nicked it a few months back they could have probably raised the world price by ten dollars.
