"so you want to invade Pakistan ?" Any 'ungoverned area' in the world --- such as the 'Tribal region' of Pakistan, that is BEYOND the control or governance of the central Pakistani government --- is a potential magnet for Terrorist groups. In this case, it is the administrative and operational heart of al Qaeda and the Taliban... though other extremists operate there as well. So, yes. If the central government CANNOT take effective control of the area then, IMO, it has forfeited all rights to sovereignty there... and we would be perfectly within our national rights of self defense to take military action there. (Same as we took military action against the nation - Afghanistan - that was providing safe haven to terrorism previously, under the so-called 'Bush Doctrine'.) I can also add that --- so long as Taliban and al Qaeda are allowed their safe haven in Pakistan... a place to resupply, retrain, recruit, totally safe from attack --- then the War in Afghanistan will never be won.
