I don't know if Pakistan's sovereignty and the corresponding international law has really been violated here. We've been operating within their borders militarily with their permission for years, now. Yes, it's been increasingly begrudged, but it has not been revoked.

Well, it's a gray area. We have specific agreements (written, signed agreements) that specify the terms of our conducting military operations within Pakistan's borders. Because these documents are classified, none of us is in a position to say whether the agreements have been observed. What is clear is that Pakistan isn't going to protest or contest the action, and in the tradition of Common Law - no harm, no foul.

However, as a legal precedent, President Obama clearly did not deem it necessary to obtain Pakistan's consent for this operation - and the timeline makes it clear that even if Zardari had objected we would have acted. (That's one of the key reasons not to ask.) In this instance, this isn't a problem. However, there are arguably similar cases in which it could be a huge problem, so the precedent is troubling to me.
Goodhousekeeping requires taking out the trash/garbage...sometimes even if it is in one of your neighbors yard it needs to be done... disease and all manner of miscreants live within the garbage
of society... there will always be a need to remove the garbage and there will always be a need for courageous men to make the decisions, and more courageous men to undertake the task.

A good thing is just that... a good thing. Acceptance is a road cluttered with false purchase.
Perhaps in reality we just need to let go .......

I can spell courageous
Did you forget to put out the trash again?
