Various forms of pirates
What kind of pirates? Pirates like the ones shown in Pirates of hte Carribean? Or pirates like the little geeky kind who sit infron of their computer and illegally obtain music, applications, movies, ect. Or do you mean the pirates whom still roam the seas but in more modern boats.
Cool pirate quote:
"We're all born naked and screaming, and if you're lucky,
that kind of thing doesn't stop there."

but pirates are too loud about it.. ninjas are sly.
You'd be able to run away from a marauding pirate, but you'll be dead three times before you notice a ninja on your tail.

ninga's are crafty bastards... but pirates are just dirty dogs who wouldnt think twice about anything.
I vote dirty dogs... pirates are just too rough for the ninja!

I had to go with Ninjas due to my childhood obsession with the Teenage Mutant variety. Pirates get tiresome after a while.

like pirates of the carribean pirates
I like your thinking but wouldn't the jangling of all those gold earrings and whatnot ruin their ninjary stealthiness?After G said:I'll go with ninja pirates.
Ninjas. Stealthy assassins are cooler than maritime capers. Not counting Johnny Deppesque pirates, of course...
Easy when you put it in a scenario we can understand
Which could have taken out Saddam Hussein?
Pirates sailing up the Tigris firing cannons and singing their sea shanties would have been spotted a mile off. Saddam would have heard them all coming and machine gunned the boat as they tried to swing ashore sword in teeth. Result? Saddam 1 - Pirates 0.
Ninjas would scale the walls of his palaces, silently garrot the guards and fire a poison dart into Saddam whilst he slept. Result Saddam 0 - Ninjas 1.
So it has to be ninjas. Pirates blow it by being too bling about everything.

Some excellent points there. And even if the pirates did try to be extra quiet and sneak up on Saddam, they'd be given away by their parrots squawking 'Pieces o' eight' and similar.
So ninjas it is.
