Thread Name: BS: Saddest news article.
Subject: BS: Saddest news article.
Just been reading of the death of an al Qaeda chief,on the Pakistan border.
The man was killed in a "surgical" strike by a US drone, which has been lauded by the American military as a triumph for US weapons technology.

Almost as an afterthought, the article mentions that the mans wife, three daughters, grand daughter and other family members were also killed in the strike.

My heart burns for those children, but my greatest sadness is for what we have become....worse than the terrorists with their home made bombs.

We are the high tech terrorists with no concern for women and children, they are simply cannon fodder, hardly worth a mention, while our activists run around demanding "rights for all"

What about the right to live?
