    U.S. Drones Killing Children in Pakistan

    http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/04/op...lies.html?_r=1

    Everybody check out this article. Is it any surprise the rest of the world hates our guts? When we have soldiers playing video games with the lives of kids? These drone attacks are horrible. Also keep in mind they are operated by the CIA and not the military because that lets our American government go around the rules of war which have been agreed on/

    The Geneva Convention does not apply to the War on Terrorism and Terroists. Let me ask you this JG. Do you think the Geneva Convention and the Rules to War. Applied to those that were Military personell that were captured and killed. Shot as Spies. Yet conducting a military operation for their Country?

    Naturally one does not condone the killing of Children. That being said and already counting that accidents will happen. Do you even consider that the enemy hides and uses children and women to fight in and around. That they take over their homes and properties, use them as they see fit. Tell me JG, how would you feel if you were fighting someone. Shooting at each other. But then your opponent then ducks in and hides amongst children and women? What would you do JG knowing they just grabbed some woman and then told all around to get around them. While still shooting at you and knowing you have even less chance of hitting them.

    The Geneva Convention applies to the rules of a Conventional War.

    Re: U.S. Drones Killing Children in Pakistan

    You are kind of going off track. Let's not talk about the Geneva convention for now and let me ask again did you read the article? If so you will read about how these children are being slaughted. It is not because they are being used as human shields. It is because we are bombing them with drones and taking chances we should not, firing in to a crowd for example. We are creating new generations of enemies and doing recruiting for new terrorists with our activities.

    I have seen your posts Midwest Media Critic and normally you are against the drone armies (which you wrongly blame on Obama) so I don't know why now you are going against me unless it is just to argue?

    Let's get that bloodthorsty warmonger out of office and end this barbarity!
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    While that may be the case with me being against drone attacks. Again I ask what do you think about a group of insurgents. That hide in schools and or hospitals and begin engaging their enemies.

    I can understand how that guy feels after being personally around those people and the impact it has. Yet notice JG there is no precise record of what took place. What time did they leave to go get their Aunt? Was it between the hours that they reported we were hitting their people. Notice nothing was mentioned about any Taliban or Extremists and if they were fighting against NATO troops. One thing I am certain of, the US does not target Civilians on purpose!
