How messed up is Africa? They still have pirates?

Am I the only one that thinks its a little rediculous that pirates still exist in a modern world with GPS? I mean, aren't we able to just like track these things?



I am tired of the international waters being an excuse too. What is Somalia going to do? They support pirates? Careful, I think the next republican president might start a new axis of "evil".
