Damn it, those pirates aren't following the rule of law!
I think you have this backward:
"The legal regime is in existence, sustainable, and there’s no problem with that," said Rüdiger Wolfrum, professor and director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law and a leading jurist here. "There is a certain political hesitation to forcefully engage in anti-pirate acts."
Rule of law--damn it!--doesn't equal political determination which, after all, is one of our problems (and I'm thinking here of--need I say it?--torture, wiretapping, etc., etc., etc.).
By the by, you read the NYTimes?! You traitor, you. Conceal this from GoodCelery! if you see him at the market.
