Meanwhile, the Pakistanis are busy fighting with Taliban in Swat, and at least 45 civilians have been killed, 16 Taliban, and four Pakistani security. Where’s the international outcry, the war crimes charges, and the demands that Pakistan put down their weapons.

Oh wait, that’s only when Israel accidentally kills civilians. When the rest of the world does it to ensure their own security, it’s acceptable losses.

The thing is, I don’t blame the Pakistani forces for those civilian casualties. The Taliban are to blame for them, as they continue their insurgency against the Pakistani government in Islamabad, and they continue providing aid and comfort to al Qaeda.
