Pakistan on Sunday buried 24 troops killed in a Nato cross-border air raid that has pushed a crisis in relations with the United States towards rupture. Nato helicopters and fighter jets attacked two Pakistan military outposts on Saturday, killing the soldiers in what Pakistan said was an unprovoked assault.
Islamabad retaliated by closing the border crossings used by the international coalition to supply its troops in neighboring Afghanistan. Nato and US officials expressed regret about the deaths of the Pakistani soldiers, but the exact circumstances of the attack were unclear. – Text by Reuters, photos by Agencies.

May Allah comfort the soldiers family. If Pakistan loves its respect and dignity, it will tell them, to keep its money and also, it is the right time to cut the cord and not join the war on terror anymore. Do not allow IMF, to step foot on Pakistan's soil. The corrupt government officials, need to be brought to justice. The People of Pakistan should rise up from the
bottom up, and a revolution should take pace.

Every pakistani should protect their home by itself, don't expect anything from the Army and a corrupt government. May God help us and bring the revolution which we all are waiting anxiously.

Pakistan depends upon US financially and Pakistan have no guts to say NO to US AID or US commands.

I think the people who carried out the attacks need to be brought to justice, this is not acceptable. The sacrifices Pakistan has made for the war on terror are visible to the world-yet they are attacked by the so called coalition,
Pakistan must declare itself out of the war right now, Pakistani blood is not cheap and should not be wasted on a war where we cannot see the aims or conclusions. Enough is enough, time to ask the coalition to leave the country!

Pakistan sells its respect and dignity for American dollars. It will endure any national humiliation for a few scraps from the Americans table. How pathetic.

Pakistan needs to somehow tackle its military. Percentage of GDP spent on its military should be brought down to international levels or less. I will salute the Prime Minister who is able to enforce retirement date of its Chief of Army Staff.
