The attacks of 9/11 caused immense fury in America. The wars of vengeance in Afghanistan and Iraq put deadly arsenal of American armed forces on full display. The country, which was loved for blue jean and popular culture, is now being hated for carpet bombing and human rights violation at Abu-gharib and Guantanamo jails. These wars not only victimized innocent people around the global but also badly damaged the American ideals such as freedom, justice, equality, human dignity, and opportunity. The excessive use of drones became the major cause of transforming American dream into a nightmare.
Today, the US government is facing severe criticism for its illegal and unethical drone campaign all over the world. It is floating **** and bull stories in the media to brush off such studies which blame US government for thousands of extra judicial killings due to CIA operated drones. Recently, New York Times claimed in a report that drones operated in Pakistan under a 2004 secret deal between US and Pakistan government. The reports claim was dismissed by Pakistan Foreign Office terming it baseless and part of propaganda to create confusion about the clear position of Pakistan over this issue.
Pakistan became part of American alliance in the Global War against terrorism as a responsible member of sovereign state system under United Nations. But it was not equipped with modern technology which was required to tackle untraditional threats such as Al-Qaeda. Therefore, it was very much dependent on American technological assistance to deal with the situation which emerged after the fall of Taliban regime in Kabul. But the behavior of ISAF/NATO troops was not collaborative rather it was threatening. The threats of hot pursuits by top officials of Pentagon are on record. In this situation, CIA was least interested in winning Pakistans consent for its offensive on the Pak-Afghan border. In fact, the ambitious CIA operatives had become unscrupulous in the hunt for high value targets of Al-Qaeda and took every chance to hit them without assessing collateral damages and considering norms of international laws. The attack of ISAF/Nato forces on the Salala check post was recent manifestation of such hawkish posture of USA. CIAs utilization of drones as regular weapon has always stood counter productive. Thousands of innocent children and women became victims to this lethal weapon. This outcome invoked more hatred and vengeance against America due to which terrorist organizations gathered more recruits. Even in the settled areas of the country, people developed anti American sentiments over the violation of national sovereignty by unwanted drone strikes.
