What the US finally did IIRC was to just capture a few ships and their crews - and trade the crews for other prisoners and an agreement not to attack American shipping - which isn't that different from this really. The ultimate solution to Barbary piracy came from the French who sort of Borged Algiers and the local vicinity into a colony for the next 60 years.
