Summary
Pakistan. Most of the information about drone attacks is coming from dubious Pakistan
media, which we cannot seriously rely on. Hence, we cannot be sure if the persons killed by
drones were innocent civilians or extremists. (Fair, 2013)
One the one hand, using drones can be more discriminate, because they hover over the enemy
for hours and wait for the perfect moment to attack, when there are no innocent people who
might get injured. (Beautmont, 2012) On the other hand, it means that after watching and
killing their targets, they continue hovering over villages, which affects people’s psychology.
(Owen, 2013)
New York Times journalist David Rohde, who was kidnapped by the Taliban, said that: “The
buzz of a distant propeller is a constant reminder of imminent death.” (Owen, 2013)
Because of the drone-induced anxieties, most kids in Waziristan no longer attend school.
