The issue here is not one of legality, the issue is one of violation of sovereign airspace and an unauthorized attack of sovereign soil. Both sides of the border has been bombed, (with friendly fire casualities in the past) but with the permission of the respective country. What you have here is an instance where, without permission, the incident weakens the authority of the violated nation, thus undermining the sitting government. The Pakistani formal response is no doubt required, but I would suspect that in private to response will be far more measured. Cillmore ( talk) 18:21, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
I'd also like to point out this is all just conjecture ... the reason I'm saying this in the 'discussion' page is it might help someone with the time to do some proper research to document this event given it might point them at the right questions to ask.
War is a never ending symtom of this shallow village tale that we are all a part. NO nation is guiltless of crimes against itself, its neighbors, its citizens, innocents... I suggest that while the US is currently the biggest world aggressor, it certainly does not yet have the storied millenia of history of killing people that Europe has had. And the US did not lie about Iraq. Individuals of the Bush administration lied. Do not attribute the actions and evils of a very few to a whole nation of people. And your rugby team is no good.

Surely the "instigator" of the incident was the Taliban, the victims of "friendly Fire" the Pakistanis, and the perpetrator the US military.§ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cillmore ( talk • contribs) 18:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this really occurred near a "Gorpara" checkpoint. (There is a Gorpara in Bangledesh -- not that there cound not be a Gorpara checkpoint here). It just may have been mis-reported. Also, from the AP article: "...the fighting broke out after Afghan government soldiers who had occupied a mountaintop position..." Based on the terrain images of the region, this correlates well with the supposed border. Perhaps someone with a better understanding of the area can provide the actual coordinates.

I have changed the disignation for the 15E from fighter-bomber to its correct designation as a a strike fighter. Cillmore ( talk) 15:04, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
