in Pakistan?
What do you think would be the reaction from Pakistani populace and leadership?

No. It would be an atrocity.
Suspicion without proof is never grounds for judgment or reprisal. That is a basic tenet of law and moral decency. It is especially true when using massive deadly force (i.e. bombs) that can't tell the difference between the guilty and the innocent.
The reaction would be righteous outrage...
...that is outrage of the people, tempered with caution by their leadership.
No one in power wants to pis$off the "playground bully."

I don't know why people keep asking questions like this, whether about Pakistan or Saudi Arabia. The people of both countries are very anti-American, but the govts try their best to keep the populations in check. The US must respect the sovereignty of those nations, because attacking them could cause major upheavals and possibly bring down the government. Saudi Arabia is a major oil supplier to the US, and Pakistan is the only Islamic country with nuclear weapons. Putting radical govts in charge of either country would have major and dangerous repurcussions. Unless there is serious provocation, the US will probably not strike either country.

If the peckerheads in charge of pakistan dont do something about them, they are as big a problem as the terrorists.
This includes the national leadership, and pissant little tribal cheiftains.
Its better to bomb them in Pakistan, than let them out of Pakistan.

What do you think would be the US reaction if some country decided that you had a terrorist on your soil and they bombed the US? Theirs would likely be the same. Rather displeased.

No because the intelligence is often wrong ,provided by people with a feud against the innocent victims and the injustice creates more terrorists.

I guess it depends on your political persuasion. If Bush were to suggest it, he'd be a terrorist. However, since Obama suggested it, it must the the best idea ever.
