What the fuck. I know they feel that their sovereignty was violated, but if they are going to accept money from us expect to play by our rules. In my opinion, we should cut off aid money immediately and back out all support we give their government until they agree to play nice. Now, I am a bit of an anti-war nutter and believe we should leave that whole region alone,but I have come across opinions of people using this as justification to bomb the shit out of Pakistan until they agree to our terms. They can't possibly believe anything good will come of this. Any thoughts?

No such thing as an anti-war nutter. Far too many men and women have sacrificed their lives for this zero-outcome clusterfuck for anyone to be pro-war.
I don't think we should bomb the shit out of anyone else and we should also leave the region alone.
Not sure why it still mattered that the gov't went after Bin Laden.

I say nutter in the fact that I am generally an isolationist. Alot of people in this country disagree that we should leave others problems alone. "I don't think we should bomb the shit out of anyone else and we should also leave the region alone." Agreed, alot of people still feel the "we have to fight them over there so they don't attack us here" sentiment.

This is America's foreign policy? Placate the bad guy on the school yard with candy hoping he's going to pretend to be your buddy and keep his friends from fucking with you. (fail)
Better to kick some ass and let them all know you mean business.

We shouldn't extend ourselves so far militarily if we are going to be such pussies.

That's what I think. They are playing us imo and that's never an upper hand for the guy being played.
