Beware of any argument that includes "of course," unless you already know something to be a fact.

"Of course" is often a simple debating trick.

International law sets the standard, and law always requires interpetation because its principles are general. How is that "wholly colonialist"? What does "wholly colonialist" mean here anyway? Pakistan is not a colony of the United States, NATO, or anyone else.

Pakistan, moreover, is allowing the US to interrogate the three of Bin Laden's wives now in custody. That doesn't sound to me as though Islamabad thinks the raid was unlawful or that it believes it's being treated in a "colonialist" manner.
