Well, that's their right. That's also our right to return the fire where it come from and to destroy it's support. For example the Intelligence Service of Pakistan is a large supporter of the taliban, we can send few cruise missiles on its building.
Jac your comments keep on competing against each other for the id**t of the year award. Please start to think before you post, unless you're still in school or all of your comments are to be read sarcastically, then you're forgiven. ;)
I propose that we shoot down any Pakistani drones that violate our airspace. Tit for tat.

Did the U.S. have a right to be in Vichy France?
Who was the legitimate government of France, Petain or De Gaulle? No one elected De Gaulle and he was only part of a small group in comparison to the Petain's government. Vichy France did not give the U.S. authority to be on French soil. Nor did the U.S. declare War against Vichy France.
