Maybe now the people of Pakistan will finally start working with the U.S. government and military to help weed-out the Taliban. Pakistan Erupts in Anger Over Taliban’s Shooting of SchoolgirlThe Taliban has not only openly admitted its complicity in this heinous act, they have also brazenly vowed to target her again if she survives her current injuries.

Don't count on any warming to the US by Pakistan....ever. The only appearance of warming comes when our check clears. It is temporary and insincere. We have given millions during bin Laden's 10 year residence where he lived in plain site.
In any event since Obama has told the world we are pulling out of Afghanistan by 2014, Pakistan is even less important as a pay as you go Ally.

While I understand your point, I tend to think that it is really the Pakistani government that cares about any checks clearing rather than its citizenry; the public has been more outspoken about this outrage than its government.

What public is really there to protest? The majority of women are shut up behind burka’s and not allowed out without a male relative. Vast regions of the country are under oppressive cleric control; the very same groups that want to stay in the 18th Century. The Taliban control a good deal of the Pakistan-Afghan boarder.
The President, Prime minister and General Assembly all publicly condemned the girls shooting but do nothing against the Taliban. It’s just bluster to keep the checks coming. Like the US, it’s the news media that is causing a stir among that portion of the population that are educated.
I don’t expect any ch-ch-change on the spots of this nation that still stone adulteresses.

These idiots are so many light years behind modern civilization, I say we just nuke them and get rid of them. They are nothing more than a pox on our ass and quite frankly, will *NOT* be missed should they cease to exist because all they bring the modern world is death and destruction of innocent people.
Shoot and try to kill a young school girl. Wow . . . that's mighty brave!! To think a 14 year old girl represents that much of a threat to their way of life.
They are nothing more than a roach infestation of an otherwise nice planet. BE GONE, I say!!

They have been living like that for thousands of years. There is no way they are going to ch-ch-change now.
I second Dr. Bob's motion.

If the citizens of Pakistan are protesting what the Taliban did, then doesn't that suggest they don't share the same restrictive views? Bombing them will only cause countries that already hate us to be more steadfast in their resolve and help Iran build something that will take out both Israel *and* us.
