Have we been able to win wars and get the spoils? Have we created any less suffering somewhere in the world? Have we been able to stop piracy on the high seas?

Out of every dollar spent on defense in the world the US spends 46.5 cents. A couple years ago it was 51%.
Reminder: The question was what good has come of it? Not is it enough.

The Security Council calls upon states interested in the security of maritime activities to take part actively in the fight against piracy on the high seas off the coast of Somalia ,in accordance with international law, as reflected in the Convention.(2).

So, what is an international law?

Piracy on the high seas, especially off the coast of Somalia, has become a scourge threatening human lives and liberty, goods in transit, ships and international trade. The action that any Government’s forces can take is limited by political and diplomatic niceties. Surely it is time to take a lesson from history and allow private enterprise to finance a solution as happened in the Caribbean and elsewhere with the use of privateers?
I think piracy has to be eradicated where their bases are – on land, not at sea. Somalia e.g. is a failed and corrupt state which is unable to stop anything – just the place for a bit of free enterprise, like piracy, and anti-piracy too.

Does anybody know of a piracy (on the high seas) law case where the offender used a criminal defense?? Thanks
I mean, in court used a Criminal Defense, such as intoxication, in a criminal trial
