Sure, but we're the easiest to blame. *shrug* It doesn't bother me that he blames us. What does it matter what he thinks?

There is a good amount of evidence that Pakistan (explicitly or implicitly) allowed actions within their borders that would get bin Laden. There are other matters beyond that, but it's not as simple as "invading a sovereign nation" or anything like that.

My (first-blush) reading of international treaties and agreements shows that many conflict or are vague - it's not easy to say either way. That obviously is its own problem, but at the same time, operating in a gray area is much better than "making up the rules."
Eh, I'm not even going to bother, I'm not an expert nor pretending to be here. Ultimately I don't think it matters, because no one is going to do a thing about it except complain.
