There have always been pirates; but now, they seem much different than in the past...
In the Wall Street Journal, Daniel Henninger writes about "pirates":
"Some are small pirates like the Somalis, but many others are big pirates. They live in North Korea, Iran and in al Qaeda's hideouts along Pakistan's northwest frontier. They are Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Janjaweed in Darfur. Pirates strap themselves with dynamite to smash the routines of daily life in crowded town squares. Hugo Chavez is the pirate king of Latin America. There are others.
Each wants to replace our system of laws, rules, institutions and sovereignty with their disorder. Then disorder becomes normal."
