Hakimullah Mehsud killed by drone, Pakistan Taliban say

[Kiyant]

According to this logic, terrorist leaders should never be targeted.

Pakistan itself said this wasnt a good idea because they were at a peace process (Im not saying he was an ass or an idiot but the US timing sucks balls)

I read the above article and didnt see any bad thing he did. He "captured 300 pakistani soldiers" and killed CIA agents which are legitimate target. Now someone is going to say f that all, I will just kill as much as I can

I don't know how anyone could negotiate with the Taliban, as if they were some sort of legitimate political organisation.

To say the truth in the first reign of the Taliban in Afghanistan they werent really radical women could walk on the streets without a burka problems came a little later.
But the probem i spoke off is that the death doesnt do the US nor Pakistan a favour because now more Pakistanis will die.

As the leader of the taliban, he is by extension also responsible for their other horrible crimes like blowing up civilians.

Good question. Here is how they are reacting:

Pakistan also had a prize on his head.
So apparently Hakimullah Mehsud was going to start peace negotiations with the Pakistani government.
So US decision makers were either oblivious, not believed hie's serious, calculated it's better to kill him or didn't want substantial peace talks to take place.

And what is achieved by this?

He ripped apart the region with suicide bombing promoting Islamism in Afghanistan and Pakistan..

because now more Pakistanis will die.

Not because Americans will kill them. The blame should be placed on the Taliban.

Problem is like Sblast said Pakistan will now hate the US much more because they say they were at a peace process and America killed him to stop it.

There is no such thing as the taliban. They are just a group of different clans and organizations.
And as a leader he coulnt have organized that, since he had 30 groups under his comand.
The only suicide attack connected to him was that he met a Jordanian who later blew himself to avenge someone and thus killed some CIA agents

He? Islamism?
I dont know how long he "ruled" but I doubt that he ruled when the war started. There was a leader before him, and leader before that leader.
They just exchange. Another will take his place, perhaps even worse.
Its been a long time since there was a suicide attack in afghanistan. God knows what will hapen now

If they werent there no one would die
