America must resume her role as the leader regarding international conflicts. The UN is great for supplying aid to those in need, but completely ineffectual at enforcing her own resolutions. The US does not need UN approval to do what is right and necessary, in general, or in regard to the North Korean missile test. Europeans will complain if we take decisive action or if we wait, as they will, until a situation is out of control.
When Americans are at risk America must act! We should have already been addressing the piracy issue, but when a ship under a US Flag is attacked, the US must respond!
In response to this attack on American citizens and assets Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated that “More generally we think the world must come together and end the scourge of piracy." WRONG! The US must take the initiative in putting an end to piracy. We should not have waited this long, we must act now and set the example for the world.

Right on, man! America is meant to lead the world, not to look around and ask, 'What do you guys want to do about it?'.
