Piracy is wrong as long as the anti-pirates are better armed. Whenever it goes the other way around, pirates are heroes and they get a monument in Trafalgar Square.

No, it wasn't that they were better soldiers, it was that the French helped them. Without French assistance Americans would be driving on the proper side of the road and speaking English correctly.
