Apparently no one understands how motivated these pirates are, and the difficulties of patrolling thousands of square miles of open sea. You could capture or kill every pirate that tried to board a ship for the next six months and that would not stop the attacks.
The pirates have motivation, opportunity and a relatively safe base of operations. There is no government to speak of in Somalia. The pirates are bringing huge sums of money into the country, which makes them heroes in their home towns.

The only way to permanently end the Somali piracy is to destroy their bases of operations in such a way that they are unlikely to take up piracy again. This certainly means killing not only the pirates, but hundreds of relatively innocent men, women and children who happen to live in those towns. Doing so is not going to make the US any more popular in the muslim world.
