What do you think of the Indian army chief statement about a military strike?

Questions are already being raised about how legitimate the American operation was under International Law. The Pakistani view is that it was a violation of sovereignty and I am very much inclined to agree with them. I suspect that, once the evidence is properly known and International lawyers consulted, other countries will tend to condemn America's action, although it could be argued that there were valid tactical reasons why Pakistan was not first informed or consulted. It also now becomes clear that Osama bin Laden was unarmed when he was killed and that raises a separate and very serious question about the violation of human rights to a fair trial. America is by no means innocent or acting in a fair and just way, it appears, though what will or can be done about it is another matter. If India were to attempt a similar operation in Pakistan, it would clearly be a violation of sovereignty and, since India is a smaller power than the USA, doubtless more would be said and done about it.

i have not heard this news and if it is true i find it irrisponsible on behalf of the General involved in the statement. I believe it will be nothing more than posturing and ruffling of feathers to maximise any embarrassment caused by the lack of warning the US gave the Pakistan government.

I think first the Indian Army chief needs to be declared as senile and asked to step down. We all have nuclear capabilities, in case he'd forgotten. Any wrong step now could lead to severe repercussions for everybody. There has to be some maturity when a person talks. What US did or does is not exactly a code book that India needs to follow. Remember US too had its moments of shame in Vietnam. And India too has suffered some thanks to interference with Srilanka's sovereignty. You know what, India is the only large nation in the world that does not have a friendly neighbor anywhere. Pakistan, China, Burma, Bangla Desh, and Sri Lanka. That is what happens when we select political leaders who get third class in their academic performance. In contrast, the US shares good relations with Canada, though its relationship with Mexico remain a suspect. But nothing as bad as it is between India and Pakistan. In short I think it would be dumb.

I do not support the statement that you quoted concerning india following the footstep of america to attack pakistan to capture a terrorist. America is already getting discredited and condemned in the international arena for violating the sovereignty of pakistan. I do not see a situation where a visitor becomes the host automatically. The best way for america to conduct themselves was to involve Pakistan in their planned raid. Having got rid of osama bin laden they should have handed the body to the pakistani government. Throwing it into the sea was a violation of the culture of the islamic republic of pakistan.
