Stop Obama’s Drone War in Pakistan
Progressive / Matthew Rothschild
21-Apr-2012


  The Pakistani government and its opposition parties have just come together in a rare show of unity to demand that the United States cease all drone attacks inside their country.

As well they should.

The United States hasn’t declared war on Pakistan.

The U.S. has no right to rain bombs down from the sky on this country that it’s not at war with.

This is against the U.N. charter, against international law, against the Constitution, and it’s doing us no favor in Pakistan, either, as it’s been enraging the entire country.

This is Obama’s war. He’s increased drone attacks by 600 percent from Bush’s pace. In Bush’s last three years in office, the U.S. launched 39 drone attacks in Pakistan. In Obama’s first three years, that number jumped to 241.
