re=Dr. Bona
At least Dr. Bona agrees with us that there was no misunderstanding and distortion of the facts. Senator Obama did mean military strike. 
 
All is left for us to do is to predict the outcome by deductive logic. 
 
US Military has two options to strike any group inside of Pakistan (this is based on Senator Obama assumption of General Musharraf unwillingness to cooperate.) 
 
By land or air strike 
 
The first one is not practical for two reasons: 1- US defence policy is to minimize it's military causalities in the expense of none-combatant lives. 
2- Any attempt to send a military forces to a sovereign nation, would be considered invasion and act of war against that nation. 
 
Which bring us to second option that is strike by air. This action aside from being a direct violation of intentional laws, will also have a high probability of harming Innocent civilians in the process and indeed would be strike against Pakistanis. 
 
After all, Nato's action in Afghanistan, US in Iraq and Israel in Gaza have demosterated that the causalities would be more (about 600% more) civilians then insurgencies.

Do you have a better way of dealing with terrorists?

 
 
It's not our job to find a solution for your politicians, however in this case we have few suggestions; 
 
- Stop funding and sponsoring the terrorists and dictator in the region, because enemy of your enemies is not necessarily your friend. 
 
- Do not vote warmongers to office

If you disagree with the use of force to take out terrorists in Pakistan,

 
 
By whom? By Americans? You have neither moral nor legal authorities for that. 
 
You do not need to attack Pakistan to eradicate the terrorists, start little closer to home in Washington 
 
Sadly 3000 lives were lost in 9/11, aside from illogic of the assumption that 9/11 attack was unprovoked, since then more then ONE MILLION lives has been lost in response to 9/11. 
 
How many more innocents have to die to satisfy Americans thirst for revenge? 
 
The truth is that most American politicians are not anti-war, they have no problem attacking or invading other countries, they criticize the Bush administration in respect to Iraq war because they could not simply deliver the goods.
