"It's not our war. It is your war"

That's a quote from a Pakistani journalist who went on to say to Hillary Clinton, "You had one 9-11. We are having daily 9-11s in Pakistan."

True, it's only one person's comment. But Clinton heard many similar comments from Pakistanis this past week. Whether it was provincial leaders, students or journalists, the message was the same - we don't think that the U.S. actions are helping Pakistanis. And, of course, the more frequent use of drones does not help our position, no matter how many bad guys we kill.
