The drone attacks are killing indiscriminately with collateral damage of about 36 percent.
The drones are operated by remote control from a distance of several thousand miles. It appears as if people are being killed like partridges without ascertaining the collateral damage.
The protests by army and people go unheard. However, Pakistan is not so weak as to counter such attacks. It is just that our rulers lack courage to defend their citizens. If the government cannot protect the lives of its citizens, it has no right to rule over the destinies of its hapless people.
