>>Good. We know Pakistan is harboring terrorists, and is doing nothing about it other than take our money ($800 million this year IIRC), so I say go after terrorist targets. As far as mixing them up, I don't know how they could get any more mixed up than they already are.

>Well Mike your opinion really sums up why you live in possibly the most dangerous country in the world. You also live in a wonderful country but massive power without an appreciation of consequences is not a good combination.
I am not for going around attacking every country we perceive as not sharing our interests. I do not favor invading or bombing Iran, for example. But Al Qaeda directly attacked the U.S. Its leaders are believed to be hiding in the mountainous regions of Pakistan, with the complicity of the Pakistanis. I don't think we should attack the country or civilians. But a targeted military attack on Al Qaeda forces hiding in Pakistan is appropriate IMO.
