I guess we're supposed to believe the modern equivalents of Francis Drake and Henry Morgan would have finished off Al Qaida by now, huh?

DUH! Well yes, put a billion dollars on his head and he would have been gone a long time ago. There are any number of people and organizations that will do what ever is required for money. Just look around at the corruption in our government as an example.

If I were trying to convince people RON PAUL isn't wacky, I wouldn't mention this privateer idea.
