Re: This is how Pakistan can stop and prevent drone attacks
It had to be done. When the terrorists use bombs and rocket launchers, you cannot send in civilian cops with batons and .22mm pistols.
The terrorists escalated it to war scale and army is the correct and only face off possible.
Apart from the need for drones, I expect the recruitment infrastructure of the terrorists would also have taken fatal hits. That would severely stop inflow of manpower. Killing of current terrorists and stopping recruitment of future terrorists, both a must.
USA should at this point work with Pakistan and re-double non-military aid for these areas. If the presence of US personnel will be seen as an ongoing insult, I'd even recommend US providing the funds but get the Chinese to come work there.
Time to heal.
