Drone attacks

Letter December 19, 2010
Innocent people who live among terrorists can expect they will possibly suffer the same fate as the bad guys.

GEORGIA, US: This is in response to your website report of December 17 titled “Over 50 killed in 3 drone strikes”. If the attacks are loathed by the Pakistani people, then something must be done about the terrorists living and operating out of the country. Innocent people who live among the terrorists can expect they will possibly suffer the same fate as the bad guys.

I believe America is trying to be as surgical as possible and the use of drones is part of that strategy. America may be seen by many Pakistanis as an aggressor but what it is doing is defending itself. It will stop drone attacks when terrorists stop attacking it. America treats it’s friendly allies and their people with great respect and tolerance.
