Oh Dear : Pakiland at war with NATO

[BrilloPad]

I would like to say that Troll did have one post I found useful. A long long time ago.....

Coming from you I think Nick should take that as a compliment. You're a nasty piece of work, so do us all a favour and go crawl back in your hole, you sad little man.

Get a grip. Pakistan is entitled to defend its airspace from unauthorised incursions by military aircraft of a foreign power.

But if Pakistan admits it isn't in complete control of its north-west frontier provinces (which I think it has), and these are harbouring taliban fighters and terrorists menacing the neighbours, how is it justified in complaining if someone else is forced to take the situation in hand?

Good attempt to get the thread back on topic there OwlHoot.

Unfortunately the West (i.e. the US and her lackeys) seem to respect territorial integrity purely on a case by case basis as shown with the recent Kosovo/South Ossetia incidents.

The problem is that the US has named a bunch of people Taliban and the vast majority of them are simple locals fighting for the freedom of thief little patch of soil and they have little to no interest in worlwide politics. They aimy want to be left alone and rule those little bit of land as they see fit. Why should we not let them? Who cares if some yokels want to live in a few caves and shoot anybody who come near isn't that how it's been in the south of the US for years anyway? I would say NATO's fault and something the pakistanis are well within bier right to do

make the military look good in the eyes of the people...because the recent bombings were an attempt to break the alliance between the two. Besides that the military and the ISI work on both sides...so who knows what their game is.

All I know is..Pakistan is a near-failed state..which is not a country with a military..but a military with a country.
