It’s a conundrum. Who do you root for when a ragged band of Somali pirates hijacks an Iranian fishing boat?
Iranian Deputy Managing Director for Maritime Affairs Saeed Izadian said an Axis of Evil fishing boat has been captured in international waters by Somali pirates on Sunday.
“A number of armed men off the coast of Somalia hijacked this Iranian vessel,” Izadian sputtered.
He pegged the number of crewmen held hostage at 29, saying that pirates have not yet demanded a ransom.
Iranian fishermen versus Somali pirates. Vegas oddsmakers say take the fishermen and the points.

Ninjas would find a way to escape a boat filled withpirates and iranians about to succumb to the sea.
how is this going? is it over now?
Iranians? Pirates? I'd root for the Ninjas!!
Ninjas pwn the pirates any day and the Iranians can send another boat out to fetch a new shipment of uranium to enrich all while Barry looks the other way.
Seriously, I root for the ocean. May it swallow the boat and all those on it whole. But even Ninjas could survive that... Think about it...
(BTW- to the three readers who do not get the Ninja vs Pirates gag. Get the F*CK off the internet!) LOL!
Uhm... the proverbial rock and a hard place...
I got to say that Iranians are the worst of these two evils... So pirates.
My guess is that Obama will order Navy SEALS to shoot the pirates in the head, rescue the Iranians, and hope that Matchmood Amanutjob will agree to come and have a beer with him at the White House.
"Who the hell do you root for?"
A typhoon?
I am rooting for the pirates, after they win the fight, they will eat the evidence.
I think you stay out it and let them fight to the death.
