It seems that all out drone assaults are being launched against al Qaeda and Taliban command and training in the Pak tribal regions.
It could be the end game before a truce is reached or something far more ominous.
And here's another question.. is it morally acceptable to wipe out innocent villagers with robotic drones just to get the few last Taliban? What if we found some Taliban in Canada, would it be okay to strafe Ottawa with drones?
We should strafe Ottawa even if there aren't any Taliban.
But seriously, the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan is virtually non-existent. The central government of Pakistan has little to no control over this border region. If the Taliban does not respect the borders, why should we?

We should respect the border because our fuel comes over their roads, and they have 200 nuclear weapons. We have no choice.
