I wish Mrs. Clinton had thought to pack a documentary of 9/11 with her to show those Pakistani students who were upset with the drones. Not the sanitized versions we see, but the real video of terrified American workers jumping off the twin towers to their deaths.
Terrorists used planes full of civilians as “drones” to kill other civilians. And they complain about an unmanned drone launched against a military target.
Pakistan didnt cause 9/11, and furthermore, planes without pilots, flying from thousands of kilometers away, shooting at people has plenty of moral implications that lots of people dont feel comfortable with, especially when it it is coupled with the issue of sovereignty.
What would you say if France decided to shoot down targets in Haiti, but then also accidentally hit people in the Dominican Republic? Dont you think that the US government might have a thing to say about it? I think you would see thousands of Americans lining up outside French embassies, screaming “Death to France!”
Charlie555’s post bugs me on several points. He assumes Pakistanis don’t know what terrorism is
He seems to think Pakistanis are unaware of what happened on Sept the 11th. Trust me Charlie; we have all seen the clips and images of the attacks on that day.
But I ask you: Do you know how many terrorist attacks the Pakistanis have suffered? Do you know how many deaths amongst the Pakistani civilians and military from terrorism?
Let me help answer that question for you, I know you’re just dying to know:
4,832 incidents found Dating from 01/05/2004 till 06/30/2009
Dead 5824
You may then correctly claim the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) supported the Taliban in the past and some even continue to do so today; what goes round comes round. But then the CIA helped arm, train and supported Osama Bin Laden, too.
The civilians obviously have a hand in all of this, don’t they?
The victims of the Sept 11th attacks were innocent but why aren’t the civilian casualties in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq equally innocent?
Yes, I think Pakistanis can quite rightly protest unmanned drones attacking within their borders. Those attacks have not been without innocent lives lost. Again that dehumanised “collateral damage” we all hear about. But that’s ok; it is to protect American lives.
You took the fight “over there” so as to not suffer domestic attacks, but while “over there”, your military is causing civilian casualties. But that’s ok; an American life is worth so much more.
I’m astonished by the hypocrisy shown by Americans who support their 2nd Amendment rights by claiming it is to be able to form local militia to defend their national territory should any attack arise, yet complain when other nationals in their countries protest when another country attacks within its sovereign territory.
I wish you’d watch a video or two about Pakistan.
You can only think of and see within your borders, nothing beyond it is worth anything. In another cartoon’s thread you stated the reason why we are attacked is because ”they just hate us”.
Try changing your attitude.

Dems believe joint talks mean speaking at the same time others are.
