    The U.S. Navy could blockade the Somolian coast, but the US taxpayer should not be expected to foot the bill. The costs should be covered by the ships needing the protection. I believe It would be more cost effective for the shipping companies to pay a protection surcharge, than to sail around the Cape of Good Hope.
