| American and NATO missile strikes inside Pakistan are counterproductive in the war on terror and the world should urge the United States to stop the incursions, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Saturday. "We are a nuclear power but we will not demonstrate any irresponsible attitude," he told a press conference after returning from his visit to Turkey. "But we will take measures for protection of integrity of Pakistan." Gilani said he would raise the issue in a meeting with the US ambassador, adding that Afghan President Hamid Karzai would also take the matter up with NATO. NATO will no doubt take up with the government of Pakistain the number of bad turbans who are identified and zapped on a regular basis within the borders of that country. The prime minister said he had told world leaders during the World Economic Forum that he attended that Pakistan was committed to fighting terrorism. "The whole world is thinking of helping Pakistan in the present economic crisis. They have great feelings for Pakistan. A stable Pakistan is in the interest of the whole world," he said. |

| #2 Indeed, Frank. With the volume of the protests inversely proportional to the virtue. My advice: explain to the Pakis that the drones are under the control of Skynet and the matter is now out of our hands. |
