>Nonsense. The difference being when one country requests the assistance of another country, when they work together, or the search is conducted with the permission of the host country. The point is the permission or request of the host country. Sometimes I really wonder what on earth you are doing in this country Dragan. There are other governments more akin to your views :o)

Obviously, I'm searching :).

I may have some obsolete ideas in my head, like countries being equal, sovereign and subject to international law...

And if there's such an agreement and open invitation from the Pakistani government, it somehow fails to be mentioned anywhere. There seems to be a lot of resenment, almost animosity, actually - the situation with their president being a military person by origin, the assassination of mme Bhutto, the breach of non-proliferation treaty... all in all, the government there seems very much despised here, and the Pakistani masses, likewise, don't seem to have a soft spot for US. And against all odds, you say there's such an agreement in place? Wow... politics does make strange bedfellows.
