Pakistan is Cambodia, if Afghanistan is the new Vietnam

Ever since the US upped the ante by sending in ground and air forces into Pakistan's territory--without getting Pakistan's permission--we knew that it was only a matter of days before we morphed into Pakistan's enemy. It certainly looks comparable to the beginnings of the incursions into Cambodia.

A sampling of news reports:

• Daily Times: US incursions into Pakistan, violation of airspace: Zardari, Gilani vow to defend country’s territorial integrity
• The Hindu: "[The] sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country should be respected at all costs," the statement said. Zardari is expected to discuss the cross-border strikes and the situation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown later this week.
• The Guardian: A controversial new US tactic to mount counter-terrorist operations inside Pakistan has met with fresh hostility, it emerged yesterday, as Pakistani tribesmen representing half a million people vowed to switch sides and join the Taliban if Washington does not stop cross-border attacks by its forces from Afghanistan.
• The Star: The increasing frequency of missile attacks on villages in Pakistan and the continuing high civilian casualties of attacks in Afghan villages call into question the lack of accountability of American forces in the two countries
• NDTV: Is US losing the war on Al-Qaida, Taliban?
