The Captain is Free. What Now?

Captain Phillips is freed. Horeeeey. Victory to navy seals and Barack Obama. But is this over? No. The only solution (there is no silver bullet solution) is to root out the pirates' land bases in Harardheere and Eyl and wherever else in Somalia, to assist the government of Somalia to train their own navy forces. Though this was a tragic incident, it refocuses the attention on Somalia's plight.
