War

Pakistani seeks to have US officials arrested for murder via drone attack.

"A damning dossier assembled from exhaustive research into  the strikes’ targets sets out in heartbreaking detail the deaths of teachers, students and Pakistani policemen. It also describes how bereaved relatives are forced to gather their loved ones’ dismembered body parts in the aftermath of strikes."
"According to a report last month by academics at Stanford and New York universities, between 2,562 and 3,325 people have been killed since the strikes in Pakistan began in 2004.
The report said of those, up to  881 were civilians, including 176  children. Only 41 people who had  died had been confirmed as ‘high-value’ terrorist targets."

If you're going to invade a country like Afghanistan and wage war, you have to deny the enemy a safe haven over the border. Of course that risks drawing the neighbor into the war. So the problem is the original war itself. We should get our troops out of Afghanistan.

"I am told the people who push the buttons to  fire the missiles call these strikes “bug-splats”.
‘It is beyond my imagination how they can lack all mercy and compassion, and carry on doing this for years. They are not human beings.’"

Dehumanization of the enemy is a proven tactic of war. Most people don't want to kill others.
