Since the US attack on Afghanistan, the province [of Balochistan] has been accused of supporting terrorism and harbouring the leaders of Taliban and Al-Qaeda. Since then, US planes, especially drones, have been striking what it calls 'precious targets', resulting in the death of over 15,000 people.I see. This is a good war because the recipients of U.S.-supported military attacks and U.S.-flown drone bombers are utterly defenseless. Call me namby pamby, without the "stomach" for it as Dick Cheney would say, but won't the killings--now in the 10s of thousands--and the displacements in the 100s of thousands--make a lot more people from this region mad at the U.S. than already are?
