America LOVES drone strikes and so does Al-Qaeda - the rest of the world doesn't
Posted on 12:50 by Unknown
Drone strikes recruit far more enemies of America than they kill.
You only have to look at Egypt and Libya to see that.
Both had secular governments now both are ruled by Islamic Extremists.
The drone strikes have become the second most powerful recruiting tool of Islamic Extremists.
(Second only to the mistreatment of the Palestinians by the Israeli's.)
They are also driving countries away from being US allies to being allies of China and Russia.
I see lots of comments from Americans that they would rather have drone strikes than another 911.
They are completely missing the point.
If you recruit lots more Islamic Extremists and Jihadists there is much more likely to be another 911 than if you didn't recruit them.
If you set up more Islamic Extremist countries you are much more likely to have another 911 than if you didn't.
If you get world opinion more against you, you are much more likely to have another 911.
It is easy to see why the drone warfare program moves millions of previously moderate Muslims to more extremist positions.
Of those millions - some will become Jihadists and terrorists.
It's not difficult to see how the Islamic Extremists use America's drone warfare program to recruit more Extremists.
It only takes a picture of one child killed by a drone with half it's brains hanging out to do it.
And there have been at least 176 children killed by drones in Pakistan alone.
The Extremists call the Americans cowards for using drones.
You can see why that might work on the locals.
With drones hovering overhead 24/7 and a guy in New Mexico or Virginia pressing a button on his video game and 20 more innocent civilians dead or injured.
The trouble is the pictures of massacred and butchered children are not shown on American media outlets.
They are only shown around the rest of the world.
Americans seem to believe they are doing the world a favor by their government recruiting more Islamic Extremists with drone strikes.
I can assure them they are NOT.
And the rest of the world can see it.
Appendix
I agree with Chris Hayes and so does most of the world :-
Chris Hayes on his Sunday show, wondered why the choice had to be between "big violence and smaller violence."
"That argument presupposes that we are at war and must continue to be at war until an ill-defined enemy is vanquished," he said. "What, people ask, is the alternative to small war, if not big war? And the answer no one ever seems to even consider is: no war."
Get the hell out of the Middle East and leave them to it.
Pack up our bags and come home.
And save $800bn a year in the process that could be being put to work at home.
God knows America could do with it with dire state of the economy and the government's finances.
China has signed up half of Africa without firing a bullet.
America has spent over $5tn on pointless wars and got nothing - except more enemies and a $16.5tn National Debt.
