9. Pirates may not be a bad thing
One of the premises of the faith of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is that there is a correlation between global warming and a declining number of pirates. More pirates may mean less global warming!

On a more serious note. When piracy is a growth industry, civilizations are often in decline. We would be much better off declaring war on piracy and its causes than a war on terror. We need to help the nations of Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean fight pirates. Pirates inhibit trade and give warlords a base. And THAT is a bad thing for civilization.
