Karachi, 2008, Nuclear Terrorism.

What if the shoe was on the other foot?

based on this Link

PIcture the crowded Pakistani Market Places, alive and bristling with vibrance and colour one minute....

A desolate wasteland of fire and ash the next.

An International Rogue Crime Syndicate based in the US - All Amercan mercenaries financed by various trust funds, have located Osama bin Laden in Islamabad.

An 8 kiloton weapon is deatonated - a place like Karachi would be just as dense, if not more so than New York.... Thousands, upon thousands die from the rocket attack....

It is quickly learned that the missles were the property of USAF (however the attack wasn't sanctioned by the US) and the mercenaries are predominantly from the combined US defence forces, retired.

Thousands from America, England, Australia all march in support of this action...

What do you think the reaction of Pakistan would be?

BAM!!!

They would probably try to attack us back, and in doing so, sign off what would be left of their culture and country. Bye bye Pakistan.

Next question?

Thanks for proving my point better than I ever could have.

And that point is? If folks at outside the official capacity of the their nationality but with the blessings and help of that country they should be responded to? Yes, I agree, that's one of the reasons we are in Iraq. The fact that some countries achieve their ends through the means of people who can't be directly tied to them does not absolve that country of responsibility. If you point was that this kind of attack should be responded to, I'm glad you made that point.

Now, when you consider how well based in reality your scenario is vs. Draginol's scenario, probability is on Draginol's side, by a long shot.

Since:

"The fact that some countries achieve their ends through the means of people who can't be directly tied to them does not absolve that country of responsibility."

would the US would then be held partially culpable, if Pakistan asks the US to hand over those responsible, (as we did in Afghanistan), should we do so?

If we do not, would Pakistan be justified in coming in and getting them? As we did in Afghanistan?

IT's interesting that those whose opinions I was really after have not shed any light on the issue...

There seems to be one rule for the USA, and another rule for the rest of the world...

Thanks for your comments guys.

Can you please clarify the first part of what you are asking here? I tried to make it out, but I'm not going answer based on that much assumption.

Muggaz, please refrain from painting all us Americans with the same brushstroke. We don't all hold America to different standards than the rest of the world. We don't all think that lashing out and attacking is/was the best response.

And to answer your question: I don't think that it is Pakistan's response that the world would need to fear, rather al Qaeda's. I can't pretend to think like them, so I can't tell you exactly what they would plot in response to this hypothetical attack, but I am sure it would be deadly.

Historically speaking, how many "rogue criminal syndicates" of US origin have committed terrorist acts in other countries?

rational cop: if you ask middle east people right now, they would said either Bush Jr or Sharon...

I don't say they would be right, but that's what they would answer...
