Should the U.S. military enter Pakistan without permission?

Should the U.S. military enter Pakistan without permission to capture al Queda leaders?

A very complicated question indeed.

Issues of national sovereignty, terrorism support or permissiveness, and maintaining friendly relations with a fellow Democratic nation: ALL come into play.

A negative reaction from Pakistani citizens would surely strain their nation's ability to aid in America's war against radical extremist in Afghanistan and inhibit strengthening the alliance between the two.

Failure to inhibit the Taliban and al Queda from fleeing to secure bases in Pakistan's northwest frontier, will allow further operational attacks against the burgeoning democracy in Afghanistan.

American foreign policy experts, both Democrats and Republicans, are split due to the complexity of this issue.

A difficult and complicated question to answer whether one is sitting along the Mississippi or Indusrivers.

The Terrorism Index 2008

The Breeding Ground
Pakistan seems to be moving from bad to worse. With the assassination of

former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the ousting of President Pervez Musharrafs ruling party in the February elections, and a string of deadly terrorist attacks, the country has been beset with instability during the past year. For a majority of the experts, that instability is making Pakistan a country fraught with risk. A large majority, 69 percent, of the experts considers Pakistan the country most likely to transfer nuclear technology to terrorists. A year ago, 35 percent of the experts said that Pakistan was the country most likely to serve as al Qaedas next home base. Now more than half share this fear. The indexs experts are not impressed with how the United States is attempting to address this challenge. They give U.S. policy toward Pakistan a score of just 3.7 on a 10-point scale. Sixty-six percent believe that U.S. policy toward Pakistan is having a negative impact on Americas national security, an increase of 13 points from a year ago. The highest percentage of experts says that, over the long term, correcting course will require the United States to support efforts to integrate the tribal areas into the rest of Pakistan, to increase U.S. development assistance, and to condition U.S. aid on Islamabads willingness to confront militants. But if the experts agree on what is needed in the long term, there is almost no consensus about what to do if the United States must act quickly. Asked if the United States should take military action in Pakistan if there is a chance to capture or kill high-ranking members of al Qaeda, assuming Islamabad has not given the ok, 65 percent of the experts say they are unsure which course of action is correct. In a country so volatile, there appear to be more dangers than easy answers.

1. pavocavalry16 October, 2008 06:39 theoretically a difficult question but practically

pakistans civil and military elite are collaborating all out

with USA ....yes politically this idea is difficult to sell to the pakistani populace.....the second and more important question is that the assumption that high value al qaeda targets are necessarily located in pakistans elites tribal ben area British may not be wholly and US correct...historically pakistans political and military have collaborators collaborators...however a myth of independence has all along been projected and now this is a serious contradiction for the pakistani miitary and civil elite which one may safely state are hapy to stand any amount of kicking from USA Reply

2. pavocavalry16 October, 2008 06:55 this is a case of lack of resolution in USA ...just like USSR failed to aid the Baloch in 1973-77 and later to deal effectively with Pakistan playing the India card.

However behind the scenes the americans are well established inside Pakistan and its an election issue now basically .I will not be surprised if a game is staged between Pakistani regime and the republicans to stage a drama about a grand miracle event in pakistan which turns the US election in favour of Mc Cain.
