Pakistan has called a stop to US drone flights from a base that has launched strikes against Taliban and al-Qaeda militants on its border with Afghanistan.

How is this going to effect relations between Pakistan and the U.S.?
Does this put us back to square one?

This CIA drone base is not officially acknowledged by the White House and the refused to comment.

The trouble is, the only way to stop a bully is to punch him square in the mouth, which begs the question, how big will the punch be ?? I think now would be a good time for the U.S to pack up and start watching it's own skies. If I sound like I'm advocating this, I'm not.

Remember the shock waves it sent when the Murrah building in Oklahoma was blown up ? Well there's a whole lot of other countries who are now numb to seeing something like that in their own cities and villages too, but it's not a domestic cause. The same way people hated Tim Mcveigh is the same way people in those countries are going to hate those responsible for these drone strikes. So instead of having one Bin Laden gone you can have a dozen more in the making.

I, However, AM a US Citizen. And i do agree that the US Is The Biggest Terrorist Nation.

We Breed Terror ourselves. By Killing someone's brother, Mother, Sister, or Daughter only adds One more to their cause.

Stop the Violence, Stop giving people emotional Cause to join the Terrorist Ranks.
