Diplomacy was the first choice and Great Satan's Thomas Jefferson himself met with a duly commissioned rep of the 'Barbary Coast'. His report to Congress is totally familiar to Americans in the New Millenium:
"The ambassador answered us that the right was founded on the Laws of the Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mohammedist who should be slain in battle was sure to go to paradise."
Jefferson used the Marine Corps to grant them their very wish. A task force led by the USS Enterprise stormed into the 8th century and defeated the Mohammedists in Great Satan's very first regime change.
Great Satan's enemies have learned the hard way that the Marine Corps is very often the piercing tip of the American spear. Like Kaiser Wilhelm's vaunted Prussian elites who admiringly christened the Americans at Bellau Wood - das Teufel Hunden - 'Devil Dogs'.
Sweet irony that Deutschland surrendered on the day after the Marines 143rd birthday
10 November 1775 to 10 November 2010. Always Faithful indeed. Happy Birthday USMC!
The Marine Anchor, Eagle and Globe is a wonderful reminder to America's friends and enemies that Great Satan built the modern world.

Semper Fi to all my brother + sister Marines, Past, Present + Future. It's been 16 years since I last put on the uniform but as they say "Once a Marine, always a Marine".
Thanks for the post ;)
Odd, she doesn't look a day over 21.
SEMPER

Not only did Jefferson attempt diplomacy! The US actually paid tribute to the Barbary states in retune for cessation of piracy and for the safe return of our sailors. In the end, the bribery did not work and the Marines helped the pirates to earn their virgins.
