Somali Pirates - 0
Pirates attacked the US-flagged MV Liberty Sun but were unable to take it due to the crew's quick response. The ship took RPG and bullet fire but took evasive maneuvers and lost their pursuers. Some may wonder what's the big deal, the US should easily handle a bunch of fishermen turned pirates. However the pirates attack unarmed merchant vessels. I believe both of the ships attacked so far were carrying humanitarian aid for African countries, such as Somalia. Its like attacking a nun at a soup kitchen who is feeding you soup.
The pirates have vowed vengeance for their killed associates, so stay tuned.
I like your analogy.
