Living in fear. Fear of taliban and fear of drones. both will kill you and no body would know or ask why. Can you imagine living in such a place.Recommend
I think we are missing the basic question, why these militants are fighting the US? They should get out of Pakistan if they want to plot against the US. We have brought the wrath of the strongest and most innovative nation on earth upon us somehow thinking we can fight them back. Their military budget can buy half of the world. Be realistic you cannot fight them with slogans, Saddam did the same. I don’t see that the US will ever stop.

How come everyone dies in Drone attacks is labelled as “millitant”? what about those children and women who are killed when drones attacks occur on houses?
Recommend
Even “suspected millitants” were killed. so they were “suspected”, and its enough a reason to kill them? what if your suspicsions are wrong,
Recommend
BTW: Where are those hi-fi inbuilt missiles ?

Interesting, of all the anti Pakistan fighters in South Waziristan….US choose to target one who is pro Pakistan. Should make US intentions clear by now.
Recommend
That is because according to Noble peace prize winner ( and former constitution law professor) President Obama every militant-aged male is militant !!!
There are a lot of Americans who are against this approach but it is nauseating to see drone-trolls ( many Pakistani names) supporting this strategy on this forum.Recommend
@Ansari:
If they’re wrong it means it hit a supporter.

Consider this your fair trial, sentence and execution… you suspected militant! WOW!
and this comes from the so called country who abides by human rights.

Extra judicial killing.
