Not shockingly, the US has launched more missiles from drone planes in Pakistan. Pakistan says the strikes violate its sovereignty. They are right, it does. But the US knows it's the biggest, baddest bully on the block and does what it wants. We're right, they're wrong, that's the US government mantra.

Of course if Mexico were to start lobbing artillery shells over the border because they didn't think the US was doing a good enough job for anything they thought was important, Mexico City would be turned into a smoldering wasteland. You just don't mess with the US.

The US claims, naturally, that such strikes are justified because Pakistan  isn't doing enough to crack down on terrorists using the area as a safe haven. You know what? It doesn't matter. It's their country, not ours, and they can do whatever they damn well please with policing their own land. It's their right.

I certainly hope that once Obama is president, crap like this stops, but I suspect highly that it won't. It's not the US people that elect a president, after all, it's not that simple. No one can be in a position to be elected without knowing how the game is played, and who must be catered to. After all, Obama has said that bin Laden must be killed, and that he's likely in Pakistan. I'm sure he'll make some high profile visits to the leadership of Pakistan to discuss what should be done, and that's certainly a fine place to start. But it's their country, and if any US president doesn't respect a nation's right to rule itself within international law, then that president should be impeached.

Too bad it hasn't happened yet, and that it never would. As I often say, if Nixon were president today, he would not have been impeached. Bush has done so much worse than Nixon it's shocking, but impeachment has never been seriously on the table, it's a shame. Would McCain be better? Hell no. Would Obama? I think not better enough.
