Militants or no Militants the bottom line USA is carrying these drone attacks inside Pakistan. Nobody is checking who they are after and who are the killing. USA is the Judge and the Jury and Pakistan government has given a wink to the USA keep on doing it and we will protect but don’t mind our protect it is to show to our people that we disagree with USA but in reality we agree with the attacks. This double standard of USA and Pakistan continuously creating more militants. It is said to see the so called USA the champion of human right when it comes to Muslim countries are the biggest violates and it seem like nobody cares. Based on all the studies done by the independent agency drone kill people easily but effects of are negative and increase militancy. USA can live in dream land that one day they will eilimante the militant but harts and minds are win by love not by drone.

Why grumble about the US abandoning the area? Pakistan certainly has not encouraged the US to stay. As to civilian casualties, the only thing that is clear is that no one who is taking about the casualty levels knows what is really going on because no one has actually been allowed into the area to conduct an unbiased (or even biased) investigation. Is that because the Taliban don’t want people to know how effective the drone strikes are? This is the greatest mystery. Pakistan is a nuclear armed nation that cannot control it’s own territory.

No of course the children are not specifically targeted. But then that is the price one has to pay for “democracy” right ? (in the now famous words of Ms.Madeline Albright the US Secretary of State). Once again the US will abandon this area leaving behind turmoil, chaos and a destabised region, and make it a Pakistan problem. Thank you Sir, for reminding us of the failed and destabilizing policies of super powers, leaving behind the Al Malikis of the world to protect their vested interests.

There is widespread poverty all over the world. Only in Pakistan does that translate into Terrorstan . I wonder why ?

Not in democracies where foreign policy has never been in the hands of civilians. Till that time,
unilateral, knee-jerk, short-term policies accepted by a few will dictate the state’s internal and
external decisions.

Can the Pakistan army try to arrest or confront miltants on the ground? If they do that, drones will not be needed at all. The law of the land should prevail in tribal areas, these so-called groups should adhere by government’s writ. Unfortunately, I believe the army does not want to take these fundamentalist groups head-on. Can the Pak army do it? or further does the Pak army have the will to confront these groups?

If americans accuracy rate of drone attacks in less than one percent do you think Pakistani’s can do any better? the drone menace should be disabled all together.

Civilians are not specifically targeted, but it is a war against Muslim extremists. Either for the US or Pakistan. Either way it will be Pakistan’s problem when US forces leave Afghanistan because the Taliban do not recognize Pakistan’s claim to their land.

The primary solution is running away from a failed Pakistan to a richer more economically developed nation and let Muhammed Ali Jinnah’s dream rot. He misread human nature.
