Piracy And Failed States


Somali piracy has raised a troubling question: can a Superpower cope with the consequences of states that fail? Tuesday, on the To the Point radio show, the pirates have promised to fight fire with fire. Would depriving them of on-shore sanctuaries lead to another Blackhawk Down? Are terrorists reaping the profits of asymmetrical warfare?

Hosted by news veteran Warren Olney, To the Point is a fast-paced, news based one-hour daily national program that focuses on the hot-button issues of the day, co-produced by KCRW radio in Los Angeles and Public Radio International.

Listen and participate live daily at www.kcrw.com or via Bosco Radio News and Information. The link is in the sidebar. The program starts at 12 Noon PST/3 PM EST
