You are right. I questioned the "sovereignty" because of the history of their inclusion into Pakistan. At the very least, to exercise sovereignty, Pakistan should have control over the borders, "foreign policy" and matters of defense. None of which seem to be under Pakistan's control.We have a 'Peace Accord' with the militants in NWA, I don't buy it so I count that area as being militant territory. Doesn't literally mean it's like a separate country.
Pakistan didnt know of the incident until very late! Everyone was taken by surprise over the audacious raid! As a "knee jerk response", you might have put in place plans for such contingencies. Who is to say that the same audacity will be repeated! How about very discrete or very low profile missions to achieve any aims set?A repeat performance will probably have a very disturbing ending, the incident has been catalogued and orders have been reserved for such an occasion, ground troops will engage all hostiles on site whether they be Americans or Aliens.
The point is this: they showed you and the world what they can do.
