Quote:altezon; Do you know if that's happened?
in relation to drones dropping bombs on civilians
yes, the usa army have admitted it numerous times. weddings schools to many to mention, i never saw it but both sides say it's so, so i'll believe them.
i've also seen pics of dead kids and adults in the open. so i'll say yes it does happen. sometimes when droning a civilian area mistakes are bound to happen. it's called collateral damage. do you know if it hasn't happened, do you think it's hasn't happened?
Quote:aletezon; The US has the cooperation of the Pakistani government, which is unable to control the area in question.
So it's not a question of poaching on a sovereign nation without declaring war, but more like policing "with extreme prejudice".
Only persons identified as 'terrorists' are targeted. But the list is secret, and some targets may be entitled to due process before being killed.
if you think the usa has only hit terrorist targets. then you need to inquire as who was driving all the american tanks and armour that were bombed
you also need to send a letter to the pentagon and ask them why they admit to so much collateral damage, you do know what collateral damage is
re your the text in bold; they may only target terrorists (which i doubt) but kids are not terrorists and kids get killed by the bombs.
Quote:altezon to sj;How did you become interested in civilian casualties from UAV attacks? Just a news report that stuck in your mind?
i think it's called called humanity. the having of it, as opposed to being apathetic. if everyone in the world had it we wouldn't have civilian casualties
