Re: Barbaric Mushy raids school, killing dozens of innocents.
If this happened in a vacuum then perhaps we should all be suprised and shocked. But just recently there was an agreement between the tribals and the central government. You would imagine that the discussions to reach that agreement would be frank, open and lengthy. Would you imagine that during some of those discussions that some bright lines might have been informally drawn? Like, if-there-are-any-Al-Qaedda-in-the-hood-we-will-bomb-the-crap-out-of-you? I can imagine that the "agreement" had some "clauses" that were not reduced to writing, and that the tribal folk never intended to abide by a single word in the "agreement". A few missles signalled that the agreement sham was apparent. There is probably a lot going on here that we do not know.
