We need more wishes for "world peace" from beauty contestants

On the same day, I read three news items that involve cross-border military activities:

Iran/Iraq (Kurdistan)--from the BBC:

Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards have crossed into Iraq and killed 30 Kurdish militants blamed for bombing a military parade last week, state TV reports.

Israel/Palestine--from the NY Times:

Three Palestinian militants were killed late Monday in an Israeli bombing in Gaza, witnesses, medical and security personnel said, a continuation of sporadic violence in the territory that is controlled by the Islamist group Hamas.

US/NATO (Afghanistan)/Pakistan--from the VOA:

Pakistan is strongly protesting two incidents in which NATO helicopters launched air strikes into Pakistan while in pursuit of suspected Taliban militants fleeing across the border.  NATO says at least 30 militants were killed.  Afghan officials cited a higher death toll of at least 60 combatants.

I suppose Pakistan is kind of ok with unmanned drones flying into its airspace and targeting militants, but not manned helicopters?
