Should Bin Laden have been taken alive?

"Afghans" is a very general and nebulous term but generally speaking they don't like Pakistan b/c they believe much of the issues in their country are exacerbated by Pakistani meddling. Of course the Pashtuns largely disregard the Durand line as a whole. India hates them over the disputed Kashmir region.

This must be a highly profitable corridor? Kashmir region, is that undeveloped or who has developed the region? You have Pakistan India and China all wanting to claim the region. What is the major economic factor of this area...I hope its not heroin/drugs.

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Pakistan formed from a piece of India's land? Since Muslims didn't get along with the HIndus and demanded their own land after the end of British colonization? So there is that historical animosity there that probably plays a major part.
