It is hard to differentiate from friend or foe so indiscriminate use of fire power like NATO uses is not possible for Pakistan against own population which otherwise might break our nation right away so the last resort is political solution but what we have to make them to agree upon buying the US agenda? lastly if NATO does something in our area then Pakistan will be left with no choice but to fight back aproximate population of tribal belt is 10 million
