Pirates still exist...?

I was just looking for some pretty intersting news and I came across this one. According to CNN, pirates are not an uncommon occurence offthe coast of Somalia. These pirates are taking over a once peaceful port and demanding different things (drugs, money, item). I always knew they were in movies but never believed they were still in real life.

One of the big problems with piracy is that there is no way to really patrol the open seas. Even if Somalia had a huge Coast Gaurd the vastness of the area they would need to patrol keeps them from capturing all the bad guys.
