Shutting down supply routes of a large army is very similar to shutting down water and power to your apartment.
Hope you understand this.
So there are Pakistani origin people involved in terror in NY. Supposedly they were "CITIZENS" and "ALLIES" of America.
Should the NY police go around and shut down water and power to all the apartments where Pakistanis dwell?
that's called collective punishment and inhuman.
Unfortunately this is the same thing that you are proposing. Collective punishment for all NATO troops. Yes there was a sad incident in Salala. But you want to create a bigger fasad for Pakistan while sitting comfy apartment in NY that is protected by the very same troops and law enforcement agencies.
This is hypocritic at best if not downright treasonous.
peace,.
Please understand the definition of "collective punishment".
In the case of NATO soldiers, they are under unified command and the command center gives the order to launch strikes within Pakistan, or to implement policies, which are calculated to adversely affect Pakistan. Retaliating against the command center, in a non-military way as Pakistan is doing, is a legitimate response. You can argue the effectiveness or long-term repercussions of the strategy, but there is no denying the legality of the response.
In the case of Pakistani civilians living in New York, there is no similar central command and control center. If all the Pakistani civilians in NY routinely held conspiratorial meetings where the actions of each member of the community were planned and guided by a central committee, then you analogy would apply.
As it is, you present a false analogy.
