This is Nadia, ten-year-old Pakistani. Her mother and father were both killed, not by a terrorist, but by the president of the United States. You will not find Madonna dedicating her a song; nor will you find Amnesty International championing her cause. Indeed, you'll discover that Human Rights Watch has praised the accuracy of the weapon with which her family was incinerated. You'll also find the president of the United States use her tragedy, and the tragedy of many others like her, as a punchline for a joke. And liberal America laughed (pathetic!).[From the Columbia Human Rights Clinic and the Center for Civilians in Conflict: Civilian Impact of Drones report dated 2010]
