The use of predator drones under the Obama Administration in Muslim lands, especially, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen and Somalia has increased dramatically. According to Slate.com, Obama used drone strike 5 times as much as President George Bush numbering over 300 bombings under his administration. In some case, the 24/7 presence of drones flying over communities has severely increased the level of psychological disorders, traumas and anxiety for those living in targeted regions. The fear of these drones stem from the terror they inflict on mostly women and children without prior warning. A 2012 report entitled, “Living under Drones,” (published jointly by the NYU School of Law and Stanford School of Law) described the “deaths, injuries and trauma” of people living in areas that are targeted by drones. It also discusses the use of "double tap" strikes, where a drone strike is followed by a secondary attack, which kills those that attempt to rescue those that fall victim to these deadly attacks.
A drone is an expression of human will, the expression of a borderless world where life and death sits in the hands of a decision making hierarchy that will never be touched by a drop of blood, never see a parent’s tear, never understand what war is. - Gordon Duff
