We should respect Pakistan's wishes. Pakistan has a large number of citizens who are not pro-West, so the Pakistan government has to balance how much they can help America with how much their population will let the government get away with. America attacking of Pakstani towns puts a lot of pressure on the Pakstani government, so the government has to take a stance against America here to save face.

It would be much worse to let Paksitan's fragile government be overthrown by extremists than it is to let a few beaten terrorists retreat into uncontrolled Pakistani territory. One should be remined that the northwest terriroty of Pakistan is under tribal rule and currently is not controlled by the Pakistan government.

Pakistan has nuclear weapons, so we must do everything we can to ensure that Pakistan's friendly government is as stable as possible.

 

Which is why I'm against Obama's policy of supporting such manuevers.  John McCain on the other hand I believe would work with the government since he has nothing but respect for democratically elected governments.

Though the main "Pro-American" guy was forced to step down already from what I know.  Hence the chiller attitude.
