I agree with Danito in that winning hearts and minds is very important for future operations. I've heard it stated this week that perhaps one of the reasons Bin Laden was given safe haven as long as he was by the Pakistani gov't is in part due to the sheer disapproval of folks in the region at the way the operations have been conducted thus far by the U.S.

If the majority of people over there aren't happy with the way we carried out the abduction of Bin Laden, it may very well hamper our efforts in the future.
