Actually - if the US Military wanted to - it could roll into Pakistan and whipe out the rebels in a matter of days - and it actually does. Its the politicians and strategists back here in the states that won't let that happen because internally Pakistan is extremely unstable and could easily deteriorate to a Sharia dominated government and that's very bad for the WEST since Pakistan has nukes.

As for the raids - they are well deserved. Those 'bases' accross the border are being used to launch attacks on US & NATO forces. Just as much as Pakistan has a right to protect it's borders - so do the US & NATO forces have a right to protect themselves and that often include going on the offensive. Since the US & NATO forces have international legitimacy for being there - Pakistan has nothing to say about them defending them selves, especially since Pakistan will not - or cannot take care of their own border.

......either way - everyone is right in that it is a big problem and a big mess!
