I. Was the US raid justifiable?
   A. Legally? YES
   B. Morally? YES
   C. Tactically? YES

II. Was the Taliban's suicide bombing in Pakistan justifiable?
   A. Legally? NO
   B. Morally? NO
   C. Tactically? NO

The Taleban have tried to peddle the lie that they had no connection with Al-Qaeda or bin Laden so why are THEY avenging him? We have only THEIR word for it that this bombing wasn't an operation planned weeks ago. The Taleban's (Pakistani Taleban we are talking about here right?) fight is with the Pakistani Government, their aim is to destabilise the Pakistani Government and they have been attacking similar targets in Pakistan ever since the Pakistani Army moved against them in Buner and Swat Provinces.

III. Does the US bear any responsibility for the Taliban bombings?
   A. Legally? NO
   B. Morally? NO
   C. Tactically? NO

The reason the Pakistani Taleban attack targets inside Pakistan has got nothing to do with Al-Qaeda or bin Laden or Afghanistan.
