Pakistan

As long as they are hitting the targets they are suppose to hit, I see no problem with it.

And not hitting the non-targets they're not supposed to hit. It's getting that bit wrong that really pisses people off.

But even if they manage that, even hitting the right targets, it will still piss off Pakistanis.
Suppose you're fixing your car/cooking your special meal/playing patience/ choose your metaphor. Some guy walks over and starts fiddling with the engine/adding ingredients/moving cards about. Even if he's doing it right, the intrusion/interference alone would piss me off. And if he fouls something up...

How do you think a Pakistani would feel about this. Sure, violate our sovereignty, kill a few of our citizens, ignore our weak and helpless government that is obviously the puppet of you western infidels... before it even gets to an anti-USA thing, this undermines the current government which is (presently) pro-western. This is a little like Cambodia in the early 70s. Not exactly the same, but similar.

And they have nukes, baby.

Piss them off until the pro-western government gets kicked out and replaced by a Taliban style government with nukes. Great idea.

It's a delicate balancing act. I'm not a fan of balancing acts.
