We must protest US indiscriminate extra-judicial kiiling of at least 440 persons since August 2008..

The US has done it again - kill people using un-manned drones...this time, 7 were killed..

The last time,Obama's un-manned drones kills at least 45 people attending a funeral service in Pakistan...

In fact, 'since August 2008, at least 44 such strikes have killed more than 440 people.'...

And, why do we not see this news being covered as a big story by the CNN, BBC, Al-Jazeera,...

Why do we see no 'public outrage' at these extra-judicial indiscriminate killing ... In fact, there is also no follow-up news telling us how many confirmed 'terrorists' were killed...and how many innocents were killed... All gets swept under the carpet rather quickly - the rewards of being able to control media organisations, internet, other countries...

Where are the protests against the US?

These incidents are far worse that the Malaysian police's 'shoot to kill' cases - but alas, we keep silent - not protesting...

US says that they believe that these persons are 'terrorists' - then arrest them, and try them in an open court. We remember US using 'weapons of mass destruction' as a justification for the attack of Iraq - and there was none. We remember that US's reason for getting involved in the Vietnam war was also a lie. US has no credibility. All the more, that these attacks, which like 'suicide bombs' , kills many innocent people...

Rule of Law....


"It was a US drone attack. We have checked -- no Pakistani aircraft was involved in this incident," another Pakistani military official said.

The United States military does not, as a rule, confirm drone attacks, but its armed forces and the Central Intelligence Agency operating in Afghanistan are the only forces that deploy drones in the region.

Washington has branded Pakistan's rugged northwest tribal belt as the most dangerous place in the world for Americans, saying Al-Qaeda and Taliban rebels are plotting attacks on Western targets from militant hideouts there.

Pakistan publicly opposes US strikes, saying they violate its territorial sovereignty and deepen resentment among the populace. Since August 2008, at least 44 such strikes have killed more than 440 people. - AFP, 3/7/2009, US drone attack kills at least seven in Pakistan

  1. How can you criticised US? They are our role model for democracy especially for Anwar and LKS. Whatever the USA did is gold standard for US. And most important of all, they are the most important and probably the last place that accomodate refugees from Souteast Asia
