Pakistani army resentful because it was not allowed to "retaliate" against U.S.

What if YOU had been the cause of that invasion?

Are you implying the army caused the invasion?

If they harbored bin laden, then yeah they did.

How does harboring bin Laden give us the right to invade their sovereign territory?

It gives us a reason to. Rights are not relevant.

Are you implying the army caused the invasion?

Absolutely:

• hiding b-L
• training and indoctrinating Faisal Shahzad (Times Square 2010/03/30 failed bomber) an Muhammed Faruq (DC-Metro 2010/10/26 failed bomber) to attack their main benefactor

Rather similar to how they caused two other "invasions" (1965 and 1971) by attacking India both times.

Eh, can a FUBAR-nearly-from-start nation be anything else?

Why do you hate Pakistan?

So when Mexican drug lords come here and execute civilians, that's OK because they have a reason?

• hiding b-L

So they provided training for two FAILED attempts at bombing. We invaded their country with military special forces and executed several of their citizens. You don't see the difference there?

No. Not really.

[Saddle Bronc 124]

Why do you hate Pakistan?

I'll ask you this. If the Allies had allowed the remaining Nazis to simply return to Germany (and Austria) without any further action as of the end of WW-2, how would you like a Germany which resulted after Eichmann retook power in it?

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — As Pakistan’s powerful military leaders seek to overcome extraordinary public criticism following the killing of Osama bin Laden this month in a Pakistani garrison city, they are also facing seething anger in barracks across the country.

...

To head off the discontent, Pakistani army chief Gen. Ashfaq Kayani made town-hall-style appearances last week at five garrisons across the country, where he faced barbed questions from officers about the raid, according to some who attended. After a 45-minute address to the 5th Corps in the southern port city of Karachi, Kayani took queries for three hours. Attendees said questioners focused on the perceived affront in Abbottabad — and why Pakistan, in the words of one officer, did not “retaliate.”

...

No officers interviewed said the bin Laden killing had convinced them that Pakistan needs to work harder to find terrorists or shift the focus of its defense strategy from archenemy India. Instead, some expressed hope that their superiors would stand up to the United States.

...

Pakistan should “immediately suspend cooperation with the U.S.,” said one officer in Pakistan’s north, who, like others interviewed, spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to speak publicly. “In the lower ranks, anti-Americanism is at its highest.”

They should retaliate. Why haven't they?

I think you're going to need to be a little more specific.

We did it because we CAN, not because we have a right to. Pakistan should write a letter to the UN or have a meeting or something.

[slim 1,530]

They should retaliate. Why haven't they?

Because we'd call India. "Hey, uh, we're going to focus on Israel for a minute... uh, if something were to jump off over in your neck of the woods, we'd go ahead and ignore it for a month or two, OK?"

We did it because we CAN, not because we have a right to. Pakistan should write a letter to the UN or have a meeting or something.

Or perhaps they'll call one of their buddies, "Hello, is this China? Russia, are you on? Iran, can you hear me now? And Mr. Kim, do you have a good copy sir?"
