MSNBC's banner headline as I post this and the title to the article linked is "Pirates put Obama in 21st Century Bind." Maybe I'm missing something, but aren't they putting him in an 18th Century Bind?
A 21st Century bind would be shooting at space aliens with precision guided nukes or your teleportation machine breaking down mid-way through sending the staff to the next G-8 conference.
Pirates were a pest for George Washington's and John Adams' presidencies, and we finally fought a war with some when Thomas Jefferson stop plowing slaves long enough to dispatch some ships to Tripoli.
Leave it to MSNBC to label Obama's pirate fighting as new-age militarism.
