Finally

The captain of the Maersk Alabama was freed by Navy seals late today in an assault that killed all but one of the pirates who were holding him hostage. congratulations to the navy and the brave men who carried out this rescue. Too bad they missed one of the pirates. It is encouraging that president Obama finally found the courage to act, albeit days late. One has to wonder how he would react in a crisis facing not pirates who could be easily overpowered, but an adversary who could inflict real damage upon the USA. Let's hope we never have to find out.
