Pirates sieze French ship off Somalian coast....
Imagine being on a vacation cruise and being taken over by pirates. Not an ideal vacation situation.

Wracked by more than a decade of violence and anarchy, Somalia does not have its own navy and a transitional government formed in 2004 with U.N. help has struggled to assert control.
Looks like the UN has done a fine job with Somalia. Who'd have thunk it.

Im sure they will form an advisory group that will recommend a polite but firm letter to the warlords. Possibly consider some kind of sanctions

They already seized more than 2 dozen just last year. They should probably come up with some sort of defense.

Yes, people forget the UN is a joke, and can hardly handle anything.
