I dont know how many of you read Issac Asimov, but quoting one of my fav lines from his books
"Violence is the last resort of the Incompetent"
Stop sympathizing with their cause.
You have no idea of the consequences if NATO decides to find alternative routes.
either way, Mr. Zardari is at a crossroads with fatal consequences for him
Interesting observation. Inspite of numerous other drone attacks where militants are killed, such a response is rare. But immediately when NATO breached IB in hot pursuit, causing collateral damage, supposedly, to PA, NATO trucks are burned that too in an area where such incidents seldom happen.
IIRC, last time such an incident occurred (intrusion), it was followed by a major attack on NATO trucks. No?
Complicity?
^^ Look at the world map again.
How many times have you blocked NATO line after ABC civilian died in the drone attack?
The question is not about a drone or a heli--The question is about a soldier and a civilian!
And the difference in the eyes of Kiyani and his co.
The only way to Afghanistan is via Pakistan, Iran or the CARs.
What world map are you looking at?
The difference is intent.
As angry as it makes us, most Pakistanis are mature enough to distinguish between the case where a weapon is fired at a bad guy and good guys get killed alongwith, and the situation where a weapon is aimed at and fired with the express intention of killing our good guys.

The Americans pressured Musharraf to institute NRO, this was the venue to clear the way for BB and her PPP - Musharraf wanted neither BB nor Nawaz to ever again get the chance to do what they did to Pakistan.
Musharraf saw clearly that the US could not ever have the kind of relationship with Pakistan that it says it wants.
The NRO became a crisis because the CJP seems to have a "soft spot" if you will, for Nawaz - all cases dropped, the CJP is concerned about taxes politicians pay, but not Nawaz's taxes.
I'm not privy to that, I don't know - but it was a mistake, a huge mistake. On the other hand, PPP and the "liberals" could not get past his uniform - they saw not a program to save Pakistan, all they saw was his uniform, this is why I say that for some in Pakistan, "democracy" is a religion, and not a tool.
