So… the United States has violated Pakistani sovereignty by, snuffing out a terrorist leader, who had declared war on the U.S., but had lived with impunity in Pakistan for 6 years.  Has the Taliban, who just killed 60 Pakistanis and wounded 120 more, violated Pakistani sovereignty?

If not, then they must be in Pakistan by invitation.  If the Taliban is not considered by Pakistan to have violated their sovereignty then, the Taliban must be enjoying refuge and support from Pakistan. 

He, who gives sustenance and shelter to my self-professed enemy, cannot be surprised if I neither respect nor trust him.  He can neither claim to be my friend nor object when benefits of my friendship are abruptly curtailed.

…and d) abandon the logistics LOCs to Afghanistan… thus realizing the added benefit of abandoning THAT desiccated quagmire (oxymoron intended).

The Pakistanis will commence wailing bloody murder when they realize that they have... in their unjustified indignation over the surgical removal of bin laden… chosen the fate of Pakistanis being abandoned to their REAL brutal enemy… the Taliban and their cohorts al Qaeda.
