TRUCK BOMBING OF MARRIOTT HOTEL IN ISLAMABAD POINTS TO BAD U.S. POLICY IN VIOLATING PAKISTANI BORDERS

Today's massive truck bombing in front of the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad is tragic for the large loss of life and destruction.

But one thing it shows - how misplaced and wrong the U.S. policy is towards unilaterally attacking villages and their mainly civilian populations in the North-Western tribal areas of Pakistan. Over the last several weeks, the U.S. has entered Pakistan multiple times without approval from the government of Pakistan. The incursions happened either with U.S. special forces or with American unmanned drones.

These attacks and breaches of Pakistan sovereignty and territoriality are sure to incite the Pakistani street into more acute hatred and dislike for the Americans. Not to mention the effect on the more conservative and close-minded Pakistani jihadists.

Today's bombing seems the work of deranged and sick minds, yet Pakistani nationalism and hatred for foreign invaders surely added fuel to the fire for those desiring revenge against the United States.
