When I think of pirates, a swashbuckling drunk with a patch and peg leg comes to mind. But in the 21st century, a pirate is a 16-year old teenager from Somalia. Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse is teh only surviving member of a group of pirates who held a U.S. boat captive. What is so startling about this situation is that we associate things such as pirates with a time less-civilized as ours. I guess it just goes to show that the world has not evolved as much as we thought it had.
