You’re all up in arms because the NATO forces followed some scumbags and killed them, it’s just so happens the scumbags were followed from Afghanistan and in to Pakistan.
If maybe you showed some interest in keeping your border secure, I might see your point. But you don’t seem to be interested in doing that. If you insist on ignoring armed people from going back and forth along you border, why are you so angry that a different side in the conflict has crossed your border?
But. . .I don’t want to fuck my Pakistan. 
Of course. Because the US would have the same reaction to a unit of Canadian troops crossing the border form Canada as they would to a unit of Chinese troops crossing the border from Mexico. Right?
Right?
What good are international borders if they can be violated unilaterally?
That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if we have an agreement with the Pakistani government that they let us do this as long as they get to denounce it in public.
You suck at analogies. Maybe if a bunch of nutcases were in the US and kept sneaking in to Mexico, killing people and wreaking havoc, and the US continually denounced the nutbags, but never did anything to stop them, I could see your analogy. But you didn’t do that = You suck at analogies. Q.E.D.
Yes, because an analogy that perfectly demonstrates that the US has different reactions to border violations depending on whether the violator is a friendly neighbor or a distant state of dubious relationship clearly fails to show that the US has different reactions to border violations depending on whether the violator is a friendly neighbor or a distant state of dubious relationship.
Yep, I sure suck at analogies. :rolleyes:
I feel if you fucked your Pakistan, you’d feel differently.
Link for anyone interested.
Your welcome, NC. 
I accidentally my Pakistan.
We do. It’s been going on for nearly a decade and Pakistan never does anything but piss and moan.
Well, we also give them a shitload of $$, so that might be an explanation, too.
Repubs get made fun of for caring obsessively about the Mexican border, but at least that’s on the same side of the planet.
I am inclined to agree with John here. The Pakistani government is a strong US ally on most relevant issues, and is backed by the major populous areas. However, they have a large minority of Taliban supporters, particularly in NWFP, and are compelled to at least pay lip service to their POV. I’d say it’s very likely that, like Capt. Renault, Islamabad is shocked – shocked! – to find Taliban support going on there, and the U.S. knows full well how to take their pro forma protest, with the diplomats playing out their public roles while the military gets the job done.
Lost? Ate? Fellated?
Bingo. It’s a diplomatic game, and all the players know their parts.
All of the above.
I don’t see why they’re so mad then. I mean, the last two sound alright by me.
Pakistan does nothing to stop them? Certainly one can argue they could do more, but they’ve rounded up several high ranking Taliban members and turned them over to the US, killed many more and launched several major military offenses against them. One last year saw the Pakistani military sustain something like 800 casualties.
What if it was my Afghan?
Only if it’s the kind you can put in the washer- otherwise those stains are just too hard to get out by hand.
