Children of the Drone

We’re told that predator drones armed to the teeth are keeping us safe by killing dangerous terrorists on the other side of the globe, but is that really the case?

Let me introduce you to….

equally at fault are those martial cowards who hide behind civilians.

equally at fault are those martial cowards who hide behind civilians.

equally?

do you know what you just wrote?

you blame the drone operators and the hiding terrorists among civilians on equal terms and hold them responsible equally

well done

well done

whether by mistake or knowingly you have built up the courage to criticise the killing regardless of who is the perpetrator.

no ifs
no buts

condemn the atrocity no matter who commits it

[Abhishek_]

IB, I do hold both sides of the war equally responsible for civilian casualties. just my 2 cents

[KRAIT]

MODs add the word "Graphic" in the title.

By killing few terrorists, US has made hundreds ready to fight against them. Reminds me of Hydra.

Whaat's rather sickening is when people call it collateral damage and avoid from taking blame.

Tribals or villages that give shelter to these terrorists are also to be blamed. (if they are not forced to do so on gun point, otherwise it will be the issue of survival from the terrorist first)

No wonder if few parent, brother, sister of deceased children will turn against US and join any outfit to take revenge leaving aside people who will join just by seeing these photos.

To safe-guard their present, US have put their future in danger.

Drone attacks are justifable when they kill terrorist alone, but this act of killing unarmed innocent civilian just because the US can not get another hit at these terrorist some other time, is not what a super power nation should be doing.

[Desert Fox]

Al-qaeda is American gov.t's pet, they created it and use it to justify their attacks on other countries.

NATO and allies are actively supporting Al-qaeda in Syria just as they did in Libya.

HB, without linked references and correct context photographs are always suspicious.

You are confusing this with the Holohoax.

[Irfan Baloch]

HB, without linked references and correct context photographs are always suspicious. Here's a classic:


This caption writer totally goofed up. Like there are gas pumps next to the Dome of the Rock? Should have been caught right away - the guy with the blood is a Jew who fled to the policeman for protection from Arabs who pulled him out of his car and nearly beat him to death. But the caption writer chose the most inflammatory words possible.

Lots of people dead in riots, lots of hatred created. Have a care, HB.

our sympathies and our condemnations today are conditioned by who the victim is and who the perpetrator is.
what an irony
you chose to highlight the potential distortion of events in your picture and you implied that the opening story might be also doubtful. you demanded linked reference "correct context", its all subjective and open for interpretation I might struggle with yours and you would reject mine and there we are, while we contest if the pictures of human suffering are a result of the said conflict or not... the helpless and the innocent continue to suffer.

but I do see hope from people like yourself. at least you dont openly celebrate the death of these unfortunate civilian in Pak Afghan badlands and you seem to distance yourself from justifying the murder of these people.. thats a start.

otherwise on the unregulated websites people condemn the Islamic terrorism and then celebrate the death of Arab/ Afghan or Pakistani civilians at the hands of NATO/ CIA in the same sentence.

that is quiet unfortunate, looks like we have outsourced our common sense, reasoning and human compassion to corporate opinion makers & main stream media and we are willing to salivate whenever the bell rings just like the Pavlov's dog.

Your heart cries when you see little flowers our children getting killed like that...... God has left us.....it seems..

No Sir. It is we who have left Him. He never abandons us.

[phylumchordata]

muslim media has lost its legitimacy.... those are dead children for sure but are they dead because of drone attacks, that's is a question. Pakistan faces so much violence everyday I bet most of them are not even Pakistani( Syria or Egypt or Libya) and those who are 90% are due to domestic conflicts, slave tradition and victims of religious extremism. US Drones don't drop fidayeens from the sky that blow up anywhere in crowd, they use highly precised bombs that reduce collateral damage as much possible. You can see that in war time footage of US aircraft targeting terrorists, they are the people who protect donkeys during attack how can they kill children that too intentionally.

Your champions of Islamist terrorism hide amongst innocent people as they have realized the above fact.

[MastanKhan]

Sir,

Do you understand why I kept yelling at you for the last 11 years to kill Osama bin Laden and his cohorts in afganistan and then at tora bora----but no---you the the clever one was too smart for yourself---.

Now you are crying murder when your house is burning and your children are dying---.
