Recent Us strikes inside the premises of Pakistan have killed more women and children then militants? Pakistan is going through some really hard times already. What do you think, Is America creating troubles for one of their closest allies in war on terror? What could be the possible outcomes? Should US works in tandem with Pak forces or continue with their present policy?
US raid inside Pakistan? Why making it hard for your allies
Pakistan is in real trouble now, Therefore Mushraf left 
, Pakistan is getting squeezed between USA govt and Terrorists.Mushraf tried his best to be good with both side, but at last hecoudent prove any good relationship with either .I dont think there will be peace in pakistan till democratic government comes in and people them self will understand importance of education.
What ever USA doing is very wrong. they just cant blindly kill anyone like that, assuming there are terrorists.These days i m continuously reading about atleast one blast in pakistan every day, killing atleast 2 people. Its very sad.USA should lead in settlement of life in afghanistan and in pakistan.

Well, they don't target randomly though. If they hit some building with a missile, it is because they either saw from a spy plane or satellite or heard from a source that terrorists were using it.
Hitting targets inside Pakistan... Definitely not good for foreign relations there, but it could be needed if some of the terrorists operating in Afghanistan have figured out that by hiding in Pakistan, they can avoid US troops. (That is assuming that Pakistan is unable or unwilling to take care of them.)

You're right, it can damage Pakistani relations. However I believe it inevitably necessary to prosecute the war.
Although we are not privy to it, I'm sure there is a great deal of high-level diplomacy between Pakistan and the U.S. with regard to this. It's pure speculation, but I can imagine a deal being struck where the Pakistani government knows the U.S. military and intelligence is going to continue to operate in that border region and quietly accepts it but publicly denounces it every time it occurs.

It has been more than a week since the first movement of the US troops inside of Pakistan's borders and more details have now started to emerge.
The Economist recently carried an in-depth analysis of the issue of Islamic terrorism in the tribal areas of Pakistan:
http://www.economist.com/world/asia/displayStory.cfm?source=hptextfeature&story_id=12267391
The moral of the story is that if you aid evil at one time for your own purposes, it will not be much later when the same evil comes back to haunt you.
In the 1970s-80s, the US funded these Islamic terrorists to throw the Soviets out of Afghanistan. With the same money and arms, the Islamic terrorists including the Taliban and the Al-Quaeda are now underground, waging a war against the US. Similar to this is the situation for Pakistan, whose ISI has been training terrorists to destabilise and wage war as a proxy in Kashmir and Afghanistan.
The current foray of the US troops (botched attack) into Pakistan is an indirect consequence of this. What do you think of the situation?
