A former U.S. ambassador to Islamabad Anne Patterson warned her superiors that while the “unilateral targeting of AL-Qaeda operatives and assets” was important to countering terrorism, it also “risks destabilizing the Pakistani state, alienating both the civilian government and the military leadership, and provoking a broader governance crisis without finally achieving the goal.” Drone strikes, ground raids and other covert activities in Pakistan have proven to be a double-edged sword: helping decimate al-Qaeda’s senior leadership but also increasing the Pakistani people’s hatred of America and adding to the dangerous destabilization of a nuclear-armed state.Also U.S must stop extension of it's embassy as it will make Pakistan a place to target Americans by terrorists from whole world.
