Actually that's not far from the truth. Escalation of naval power did little to stop the pirates of the Barbary coast until someone got smart and pointed the ships' guns at the homes and palaces of the pirates on land.

Historically, the most effective strategy has been to find out where the pirates live, then send the navy there to point big guns at their homes.

It's been such a long time...

Now, I am finally divorced. What a relief!

I still have four kids, a house, a cat and three ducks to keep me busy but at last... at long last... I'm free. :-)
