The New York Times has reported that President Bush approved ground raids into Pakistan beginning a few months ago. The raids by Special Operations soldiers were executed despite not having permission from the Pakistani government.
Pakistan's top Army official declared that foreign operatives would not be welcome in his country and that they would defend Pakistan's sovereignty "at all costs." In addition, Major General Athar Abbas of the Pakistani military has said that the Pakistan Army has been ordered to retaliate against any foreign forces within the borders of their country.
I for one thought Iran would be our next major conflict. This incident could prove me wrong. How many more sovereign nations must we conquer for this madness to finally end? With hundreds of thousands of lives lost or ruined, do we still really think it was worth it? I say no; war, the unnecessary destruction of lives and property, is anti-human and will never bring us anything good. Only peace and free association in the market place can bring us true freedom and prosperity.
In liberty and peace,
Tyler
