Piracy vs War

[Jon.Wright]

I am at peace with the Mexicans.
They pirate one of my trade routes.
I see them do it.
I sink the ship concerned.
The game claims that I am breaking the peace treaty.......

I am at peace again.
I pirate their trade route.
According to diplomacy, we are now at war.

Sauce for the goose, should be sauce for the gander.

Yes, that seems odd to me. I have pirated trade routes and NOT gone to war with the Civ that I pirated. But I'm not running under Linux. Do you always go to war when you pirate? If so, it sounds like a bug to me.
