The word "pirate" conjures the notion of swashbuckling adventurers. The reality, atleast according to things I've read, is far different. The oceans in general have been over-fished. Short supplies forced fishing fleets into Somali waters where they exhausted the Somalis of their livelihood. They are now starving and desperate and resorting to pirating.
