Excuse me stating the obvious but Somalia is only one of many unstable countries in the world. We, whoever that may be, cannot impose any kind of democracy, and all that means, to any of them let alone specially chosen ones (Afghanistan comes to mind).
If anyone remembers the board game called Risk, then that provides the solution...word domination by one power. Then again pigs may fly.
So if we can't have any of the above I contend that we should take whatever measures are necessary to protect our livlihood, and if part of that "protectionism" is to hunt down and kill pirates, so be it. But then again I always was a softy.
