Meanwhile, my so-called representatives point me to the United Nations when I try to get help to evacuate people that are now in danger because they or a family member helped us. The UN did not invade Afghanistan and make empty promises to a whole generation of Afghans.
Thank you for addressing the names of the casualties from this drone strike and imparting their humanity in the process. International law governing the usage of drones in theatres of war DEFINITELY needs to be clarified, with a particular interest in what is deemed ' legal use' of such drones when average citizens are involved. IMO, such a move would demand that intelligence be more flawless (and less cavalier) before deploying these hideous sky-killers. Or better yet, we as a species should demand that drones be banned globally, much like landmines.
