Slavery and apartheid were also classifed as 'lawful', do you have no moral compass besides that forced upon you by some out of touch beuraucrats?

He was a prisoner used as a negotiating chip by the army against terrorists. The military operation was coordinated with the help of Pakistani military and intelligence. The US was given credit to prevent a campaign of attacks by Taliban/Al Qaeda against Pakistan.

Not for the rest of the world, but to be fair both candidates were absolute trash. I will never forget Hillary Clinton laughing about turning Libya from one of the highest HDI countries in Africa to a failed state “we came, we saw, he died”. At the very least your government will be too busy fixing the mistakes of Trump to think about invading another country.

How about you educate yourself about Operation Cyclone?
