It strikes me that our raid into Pakistan to kill bin Laden sets a precedent should Pakistan-based terrorists pull off another Mumbai-level terrorist attack inside India.
We put a lot of pressure on India not to retaliate, I assume. I don't think that pressure will work the next time given that we went in to Pakistan to fight terrorism and massed some serious firepower to make Pakistan accept what we were doing.
