Piracy justifies US activities abroad?

In its newest reader poll, Press TV asked "What has led to the increased activity of Somali pirates?"

And the viewers answers.....

• 1. The problem will not be solved unless a powerful government comes to power in Somalia(28%)
• 2. The US needs such activities to justify its presence outside its borders(33%)
• 3. Both factors contribute to the problem(14%)
• 4. There are other reasons for this increased activity(25%)

Answer #2 isn't really a cause of an increase in piracy, unless they are implying to US promotes piracy... but we all know Press TV had to throw an anti-American answer in there. Any thoughts? Go to the PressTV.com site and vote your opinion.
