Racist? It isn't racist. And this isn't something unique to America either, it was NATO who imposed a no-fly zone over Libya yet Britain and France were leading the attacks, and to a lesser extent America, so it was thought of as British/French led attacks, the same way this was an American led attack

It wasn't an "attack" though, it was a RESPONSE after NATO forces were fired upon.

Now whether they were fired upon by the pakistani's or by al-queada in the area trying to fool NATO, we don't know yet, but certainly Pakistan should be squashing any al-queada insurgents in the area, so it begs the question, why isn't Pakistan doing it's job???

That doesn't justify it, in their statement Nato even said it was "tragic and unintended". In any case, Pakistan is rightly pissed off and America is looking likely to lose one of it's most compliant and willing allies in a region where they're treated with hostility

of course it is tragic and unintended, that doesn't mean that it isn't JUSTIFIED though.

Well I guess that's where we differ, I don't think that killing 28 Pakistani soldiers is justified, and I haven't seen anything to suggest there was suitable provocation for doing it
