Obama's First Pakistani Scalps

|


The Associated Press reports:

Missiles fired from a suspected U.S. spy plane killed seven people Friday on the Pakistan side of the Afghan border, a lawless region where al-Qaida militants are known to hide out, officials said.

The strike was the first on Pakistani territory since the inauguration of President Barrack Obama.

Whether this has much symbolic significance or not, Obama's aggressiveness in Pakistan will certainly come as no surprise to readers of Reason.
