pakistan (or anyone) can't go bombing villages indiscriminately. all this does is enrage more people and kill many innocent ones.

The attack on Epi village in North Waziristan tribal region killed dozens of militants and civilians — deaths that are likely to harden domestic opposition to President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's alliance with Washington.
The bazaar was crowded with people buying food to break their daylong Ramadan fast when it was rocked by a dozen explosions that destroyed shops and nearby homes, residents said. Abdul Sattar, a grocery shop owner, said he counted more than 60 dead and more than 150 wounded, including many civilians. Many of the victims were mutilated.

and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

I have said that for a long time. All this does is continue the cycle of violence. Killing a handfull of innocent civilians in order to take out one terrorist is useless. You may have killed that one or two terrorist but you created a handfull of new recruits.
I've said the exact same thing many times here on the MT, unfortunately that logic seems to fall on deaf ears around here. So get ready for perpetual war....
fallen on deaf ears? where have you been posting? no one will disagree with mamma's statement.
should we fight islamic extremism? yes. should pakistan bomb villages? no.
While the majority of people on this message board would agree with my statement I believe that the majority of people in this country would see it as the ends justifying the means. You know collateral damage.
...
Tell me again... WHY are we shovelling hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and advanced weapons systems to them?
Hail, Hail!!!
