Pakistani group claims blast on UN
A pro-Taliban group in Pakistan has claimed responsibility for an attack on a UN compound in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has condemned the attack as a 'heinous crime.' The world body has also temporarily shut down all its offices in Pakistan while investigations are underway.
The UN apparently were using the compound for a food program involving famine relief.
IMO: The Taliban used to have support from the US so the tens of thousands of Pakistanis on the streets, some with placards saying "Death to America" are understandable. But up to a point Pakistan does not understand the US regime change, and the fact that "war is war". Unlike Pakistan, USA and Europe both experienced real war during WW2, and winning that war was a good thing, even with the blood sweat and tears. Now Europe is roughly united, in a roughly good way. I can remember that war, even if some mealymouthed politicians want to forget it. I would think there will be need for drones to be used on Pakistan and if some Paks join the wrong side - hard luck. Use neutron bombs on the Paks if needed and available. After all, Nixon sold neutron bomb technology to China for use on its own minorities if need be.
