    Can't we just tell the pirates if they really want to we will meet them ship to ship in a direct confrontation to see who is cowardly (then politely blow them out of the water)

    Captain Held by Pirates Flying Home to Vermont

    Five days after being rescued from the clutches of Somali pirates, cargo ship captain Richard Phillips is headed home. And the "Welcome Home" balloons and signs are already up.
    The 53-year-old sea captain, who was held hostage for five days after the aborted hijacking of his ship, was expected to fly to Vermont in a chartered airplane, arriving Friday afternoon at Burlington International Airport before being taken to Underhill.
    "He's our hero," said resident David Villeneuve, who put up signs in his yard to welcome Phillips. "He's the best thing to happen to the U.S. in a while."
