Is America begging for another "terrorist" attack ?
To attack Pakistan, and kill 18 people, seems to be asking for some type of reprisal? How many terrorists were killed? How many women and children? Doesn't Pakistan already have nuclear weapons? Aren't they really more of threat to the world than Iran, who is in the process of attaining nuclear weapons? Was this attack counter-productive? How competent is this Administration?

1. Dont' worry
Musharraf is *'s buddy, that's why Pakistan didn't get the invasion treatment like Afghanistan did.

2. Especially with no apologies being issued

It's like, "oh well, they were in the wrong place at the wrong time".
Personally, it looks like the same vendetta tactics that went on in the Vietnam war. Local neighbors, enemies, get pissed at one another, one tells the US that the other guy is the enemy and then US goes and blows the other guy's house to shit.

4. The terrorists we need to worry about are in our own government
Pakistan is a long way from here.

The real problem is just up the road in D.C.

They have the means, the methods and the madness. They've already tried out anthrax; what's next?
