Now if you repeat

The NATO forces’ gunship helicopter attack on a post well inside Pakistan in Mohmand Agency killing 25 soldiers, including two officers, on 26 November has sent a wave of anger throughout the country. The oft-repeated statements by the government agencies are also condemned by all the Pakistanis. The awam wants an action and do not want cabinet meeting or their hollow protests. Every time the NATO forces or US drones attack Pakistani territory, the government makes protests, call their ambassadors in foreign office, hands over protest note and makes a statement that next time it would not be tolerated.
A resolution has been passed in the National Assembly condemning drone attacks in our territory which are a violation of international laws and all efforts should be made to stop such attacks which kill more innocents than militants. But there is no end to such attacks by the ISAF, NATO or US forces as they care two hoots for our protests because we are not taking any retaliatory action. After every attack, the government warns (for the satisfaction of angry Pakistanis) “if we are attacked again, we would give a suitable reply.” This suitable reply has never come by from the valiant Pakistani forces because they are not given clearance by the government.
I am more than sure (as announced by the last air chief on electronic media) that the PAF is capable of downing US drones and other aircrafts, including the gunship helicopters, if given clearance by the government. If the government is so scared of the NATO or US forces, they should not even make any effort of protesting to them.
