drone war: every attack in pakistan visualised

if i had to sum the viewing of this up id use one word: chilling.

if i had to talk about americas knowledge and consensus on these attacks in pakistan id use one word: typical.

initially when i would discuss drone strikes within pakistan, i would often receive very angry emails and messages highlighting (wrongly) how america "cares" about these lives but later on as polls showed the american public not only has very little authentic knowledge of these drone strikes in pakistan as well as afghanistan, yemen and somalia but the majority supports what is being supposedly done in the name of US drone strikes in these countries. you are told that actual terrorists are being targeted, that USA is being protected from a very prominent threat to its security and freedom, ad nauseum, ad infinitum but most of you do not realize that since 2004 more than 3000 pakistanis have been killed by US drone strikes. less than 2% of pakistani victims under US drone strikes are high profile targets. the remaining are children, civilians and alleged combatants.

in october 2006, 69 pakistani children were killed in a drone attack. no word from the US government or local government was heard on such mindless bloodshed.

this interactive map will show you the commencement of the drone strikes under george w bushs regime and the aggressive, reckless increase of strikes under barack obamas. please spare a few minutes of your routine to see the mayhem these drone strikes cause in pakistan.
