The resumption of US drone strikes against Pakistan’s tribal areas last month came amid rumors of ongoing negotiations with the Pakistani government, and a putative deal to keep the strikes to a minimum.
This appears not to have been the case, however, as new reports indicate that the US simply “informed” Pakistan that the drones would restart, and did so despite objections from the Pakistani government.
The US halted attacks after November 26, when US warplanes attacked two Pakistani military bases along the Afghan border, killing a number of soldiers. Pakistan warned afterwards that it would no longer allow the US unfettered access to their airspace, and even threatened to shoot down violators.
The claims of advanced notice agreements are not true either, as US officials say they won’t give Pakistan any warning ahead of attacks, saying they think Pakistan would warn the militants. They did say they would use ISI data for some of the attacks, however.
They won't brehappy till there is war with Pakistan…………..
War with Pakistan means war with China.
Drone and democracy don't go together . A heartless machine kills anonymous people. It's a great shame for humanity. People of USA should ask question about ,otherwise they are not innocence of this heinous guilt.
I guess it all depends on what you mean with the term "democracy".
You should be ware that voting won't change politics.

So I guess it should be ok then for Pakistan, China or Russia to fly drones over Illinois without Washington approval. Any fighting age male could be bombed for being a "suspected militant."
Ha ha! As if the US gave a rat's ass what Pakistan has to say.
How long before Israel starts having drone problims…….. How high is that separation barrier…?? How high can the drones go…. Will they be able to get over the barrier…?? Or was the "barrier" always just one more land grab…???
