Well, if drones had not killed many of their leadership, attacks would have been more and more Pakistanis would have died. You do not have to agree with me, but that is what I think is true.

So you are one of those who are too busy rejoicing the death of 1 terrorist in a drone strike and totally ignore the civilians killed alongside as collateral.

There is no need to make illogical statements like saying that if Pakistan is not as capable as Americans in killing Kharjee leadership then Pakistan should give government to USA.

Im sure you are aware of the concept of sovereignty and what it should mean to any free country. Currently, Pakistan’s policy decisions are made by puppets singing american tunes. Pakistan’s fiscal policies are dictated by IMF which is commandeered by the americans. Our elections have a big question mark against them, in that they were controlled by external hands. What semblance of sovereignty does Pakistan enjoy?

It may not be logical reason for you to agree/allow Americans to do drone attacks on our soil, but to me and for many, such is not only logical but good for the country too.

Not sure which party you follow, but if that is the case, and if our government is agreeing/allowing americans to drop bombs on our soil, then at least have the moral courage and guts to come out in the open and admit it to the public of Pakistan…the country they are supposedly representing, rather than hide behind curtains of fake condemnation and issuance of pre-recorded statements to appease public sentiment. The reason why they dont do that is because they know that the public at large is not in favor of them.

Having nukes and missiles does not mean Pakistan can do everything, neither killing Kharjee leadership effectively is to do with military strength. All is to do with having high technology striking capability that Pakistan do not have.

Funny how the same technology failed for the US in Iraq and Afghanistan, but makes us believe that it is working in Pakistan.

It is same with many countries, that is, where they are deficient, they take help of others. Japan and most European countries (UK, France, Germany, Turkey, and so on) have American bases because they do not have enough military strength to fend off their military foes (like USSR). It does not mean they should hand over their government to USA.

These countries have defense deals with the US…and they have disclosed details of those deals to their public. Comparing that with drone strikes in Pakistan is silly.
