We join all our fellow Americans in the sorrow of the families who have been impacted. In this war on terror there have been many incidents of collateral damage that have occurred including the military personnel from Canada and now Pakistan.  It is important that the whole situation and circumstances around this incident be studied. There is an acute need to develop mechanisms of coordination and collaboration at the border level which would reduce the likelihood of such terrible accidents.

The current challenges in the region require having a better understanding on the ground level between forces.
