"Keith is stupid enough to believe that they haven't voted according to the wishes of those governments!"
In the end it doesn't matter anyway - the fact that the Pro-Atrocity contingent (PAC has a fine ring to it) here refuse to respond to independent reports from Amnesty and other groups throughout the world puts US support exactly where it is - in the hands of the clique of US poodles and dependents who will support (or, in this case) stay silent on whatever their bosses choose to do.
The Only Government actively supporting the US is - guess who - Britain, whose security forces are helping pin-point 'terrorist' targets
The US refuses to release civilian casualty figures and has suppressed discussion on them, which indicates they are significantly high enough to be a damning feature.
The Taliban claims are certainly exaggerated, but they are also incomplete; the organisation (sic) is made up of dispirit groups with no central body and no means of collecting and assessing them, so they represent a tiny pin-prick of what is happening.
In 2011, the official estimate of civilian casualties was between 3 and 9 - independent calculations from Columbia Law School calculated there were between 72 and 155, a discrepancy of 2,300 per cent - information from within the US itself
The use of Drones has escalated in the last three years.
The US is involved in the mass murder of civilians and it is being actively supported by Britain - no change there, of course.
