Piracy- Another Excuse for Veiled Adventurism

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 on the twin towers had set off
torrents of shock and sadness from nations and peoples from all over the
world, as everyone was sympathetic to the loss and grief of the American
people. Many nations, in an effort to prevent such further misdemeanors and
actions of terror, pledged to join the alliance to fight terrorism formed by
the United States of America to contribute their parts.
However, the Bush administration's handling of the issue wasn't as expected
by everyone. The Bush administration and its cronies rather used the 9-11
attacks as a pretext of further enforcing their policies, perpetuating
attacks against nations that have no relationship with the terrorism issue
whatsoever and labeling the term of terrorism upon anyone unwilling to
comply with their views, using the issue as a pretext of rearing servant
governments such as that of the TPLF regime and eventually resulting in the
destabilization of world peace.
Hence, converting human induced disasters and conflicts into a profit
generating schemes with the employment the doctrines such as Shock Therapy
or Disaster Capitalism has been approved and widely utilized as a blessing
in disguise, as it allowed the proponents of the doctrine to shape and
interpret events to their own desire and gain.
These days, piracy and its consequences on the shores and seas of Somalia
are becoming matters of concern and point of discussion for everyone. And
hence, some entities are attempting to find some 'solutions' for the issue
of piracy, a solution that is in utter disregard of the root cause of the
Somali problem.
Some adherents of the Shock Therapy doctrine are therefore trying to view
the instances of piracy that are occurring at the coasts of Somalia as
profit generating opportunities. It is to be remembered that there has been
some incursions into the territories of Somalia, as it is recommended by the
doctrines of Shock Therapy and Disaster Capitalism. It would be easy for
anyone to conclude that such a choice will only lead into an ultimate demise
of the system seeking to implement it, as it was in the case of the fight
against 'terrorism'.
Once again, if there's to be a lasting solution for the Somali issue, the
Somali people must be left alone to make their own choices with no foreign
interference, which will eventually ensure the stability of Somalia and
eventually the Horn of Africa, but anything else out of this will have dire
ramifications.
