To Fraz, from Lahore. That is an EXCELLENT idea. If Pakistani military forces can clean up the Texas border and Florida coastline, bring 'em in! If you've got enough, then California, too! Heck, I'll invite troops to my house for dinner. Just be sure you don't bill us for it. We don't bill you.

Pakistan has achieved more goals then the United States and other coalitation partners. So if Pakistan has decided that he has only the right to operate against milltants with in Pakistan is in the right direction. UNO charter also receomend this.

US should not hit sovereignity of any country like Pakistan. Pak army has ability to cope with such issues even can tackle with US Army also.

Majid, Islamabad, Pakistan

Can US allow anyother Country to Clean the Learned Mafia from Miami & Texas etc. Or Can US allow Pakistan to clean those Blacks who are creating violence & killing in NewYark for $100 only
If 54 attacks of US are justified then Why not any other country can Help US to Clean those Mafia
Yes We Can

All those who supports American's statements just watch this documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) by Micheal Moor".. Give some time to urselves and decide " What is Right and What is Wrong.

Pakistan admits that the 'wild tribal areas' are ungovernable. Al qaeda and the taliban make a mockery of Pakistan's sovereignty. That being the case, why should the USA respect Pakistan's sovereignty over those areas? If Pakistan wants to assert their sovereignty, let them start with AQ & taliban.

Kevin Finnerty, Atlanta, USA

The US forces in Pakistan are doing the Pakistani government a favour. Best if they just look the other way.

David, Seaforth, Australia

To categorise everyone who does not agree with US as a terrorist is just simply ridiculous. One should not treat Al Qaeda and Taleban alike. Al Qaeda had attacked the US and US is justified in its war against the enemy which is Al Qaeda but Taleban had not attacked US or any other country

Akram Malik, Gympie, Australia/Queensland

alexweill, london, uk al-Qaeda is created by the US. This is a simple fact, The US foriegn policy and government created and named the organisation. No one particular country is home to it, but its creation is most certainly thre response to the US's policy within the middle east,

Darren, London, UK

as Pakistan created al-Qaeda and continues to offer sanctuary both in quetta and the nw frontier the USA are entitled to bomb pakistan back to the stone age

While it may not be the place for US forces, something does need to be done about the Tribal regions.
It says alot about a nation when it is afraid to confront what lies within its borders. The fact that Pakistan has had this problem for so long play into the hands of the militants.

Carl, Eastbourne, UK

The long term solution to the Pakistani problem is the breakup of this country into four of five small states. In my view, this will happen sooner than later, and until then we have to put up with it (the problem).

Subramaniam, Paris,

Despite the "terrorist" label, in political terms this is an act of war. The US has invaded an arguably democratic country without making any noteworthy effort at finding a diplomatic solution. Perhaps someone would explain how this is any different to what Russia was/is doing in Georgia?

Paul, London, UK

The U.S is playing with fire in Pakistan. Having made the strategic decision to side with India against Pakistan, the U.S is loosing one tested friend of long standing for gain another one which is friends with Russia.
Russia is against the U.S ,so the U.S will end up with no friends at all.

L.A. ISUFI, B. County .N.J., United States

Thats right Justuju , your country, government and the wonderful ISI have been allowing the worlds most wanted terrorists to "hang out" in the tribal regions of your country for at least 4 years without reproach and WE are being impatient ! If that wasnt so horrifically sad we could laugh .

Scott, london, UK

To Matt: so if Georgia cannot police South Ossetia and Abchasia, it has no sovereignty there and Russia's actions were justified! THAT is the logical conclusion of your thought, the only difference being that South Ossetia DID ask for help.

Chris, Frankfurt, Germany

I Was just reading a news
'bombers in Venezuela is a "warning" to the US "empire,"'
Be Brave Pakistan! do negotiate with US on this major issue but dont let any one crumple your dignity.
Long Live Pakistan

mschoudry, Islamabad,

End US terrorism!!!!!!!!!!!

Dave, campobasso, italy

Pakistan wants to have it both ways.When it is asked to confront the militants,it claims the Tribal areas are like a separate country,and is powerless to act.When outside nations attempt to confront the militants,it claims national sovreignty. It can no longer have it both ways

Eric, Raleigh,NC, USA

If a country can't effectively police and defend a territory, then they aren't sovereign there, that's the definition of the word. This is regrettable but the Pakistani army's reluctance to actually confront these outlaws leaves NATO no choice. Personally I think we waited too long to do this.

Matt, Chicago, IL, USA

It is only a matter of a short time that US and Pakistani forces would face each other, rather than working together. And the impatience of US leaders is certainly aiming for such a situation.
