THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has the most advanced military technology in the world, and aint afraid to use it. consider the "drone", many of which america fires into places like pakistan, trying to kill members of el qaeda, or the taliban, or who knows how many other enemies of america...
the drone is a flying bomb with a computer and camera which flies to whomever america says and kills him or her or them. it often misses, as one would expect, but evidently it has quite a good record of success as well. often in the news we hear that some top ranking member of el qaeda or the taliban or whomever has been killed with a drone, and who are we to doubt the truth of these reports, and i, at least, think to myself "rock on america", then get on with my day.
unfortunately innocent people are also frequently killed, because the bad guys usually hang out with a lot of other people, including women and children. maybe future updated drones will be able to wait till bad guys go to the bathroom, and sneak in and kill them in, with a small, localized explosive...in america, nothing is impossible.
pakistan apparently isn't too thrilled about all this, understandably, but, they like american money, for the time being.
the story now is that the number of civilian casualties in drone strikes, ("incidental damage", in U.S. government jargon), as reported in the world media, is much higher everywhere in the world than in the american media, much higher. SO, is the world press overstating the civilian deaths, or is the american media understating them? hmmmm, lemme think...
the mainstream american media is supposedly liberal and anti - american, so why would it understate killing by america?? you would think it would overstate american killing, to make america look bad.
could it be that the american media is owned by the same american corporations who put american politicians in power and keep them there by trying to make their policies seem less disastrous than they actually are? nah, never, no way...
so, who knows?
let's just be thankful that nobody ever fires drones into america, and hope that nobody ever will.
