Living Under Drones

http://www.warcosts.com
Since 2004, up to 884 innocent civilians, including at least 176 children, have died from US drone strikes in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan. A new report from the Stanford and New York University law schools finds drone use has caused widespread post-tramatic stress disorder and an overall breakdown of functional society in North Waziristan. In addition, the report finds the use of a "double tap" procedure, in which a drone strikes once and strikes again not long after, has led to deaths of rescuers and medical professionals. Many interviewees told the researchers they didn't know what America was before drones. Now what they know of America is drones, death and terror. Follow the conversation @WarCosts #UnderDrones

Spending $ to build schools, hospitals, and housing and investments in providing labor jobs will win the hearts of people, increase the world economy and most importantly reduce terror. I hope we get smart and understand the best way to control people is by providing incentives. This is what we do in developed economies and it works

Impeach Obama and put him, Bush and both of their administrations on trial for murder and treason.

The under lying assumption is that if it be precise then you have the right to kill people. Who are you killing? You can't even produce evidence against people you have locked up unjustly in Guantanamo let alone people on far away places. If this is morally right than what is wrong with 9/11?

Anybody who has read recent American history knows this, this is why scholars like Noam Chomsky call America is the formost terrorist country. I left American thank God!

But I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Pack your bags and go there wearing a bright gold cross around your neck. The chances are real good that it will not have to be taken off over your head. Make them prove to you how peaceful they are. Come Daniel, enter the den!

Osama Bin Laden was hidden by Pakistan for how long? Pay attention. This is an effort by terrorists to undermine the efforts of the USA to kill those that kill us. The people in Pakistan didn't know America and now all they know is Drones that kill them. That part of the world has been killing each other for thousands of years, nothing new. This is Radical Islam Muslim propaganda.

By the way, that is what is meant by the "School of hard knocks."

And now they kill a man in the streets of London. A terrorist is a terrorist. Be careful of the "Peace speak" being spewed about. Maybe when yopu are the subject of such an attack you will understand.

Right, and whilst building them, endless bombings will halt construction, take lives and cause fear, which will cost even more money to rebuild. A drone is cheaper, and will get rid of the problem (quite literally). This is what we do in underdeveloped economies to teach extremists how to behave.

Do you really think these guys care about your schools or hospitals? They treat these buildings as a threat to their livelihoods and as target practice.

Clearly propaganda. Nothing is true about this video...

[Muhabbatik]

I doubt in 100% accuracy... i think this is propaganda... You know how many org. type places try to spread US anti government .. Don't trust everything you see on youtube... People have camera man take USA grants to shoot this type of propaganda... ironic and sad...

[TheBetterGamer]

Yes, yes I did.

You have no reason to reply to my comment.

Goodbye.
