Peshawar :

Once again US drone targeted a village of Waziristan killing about 20 people. Once again its official would claim that those killed were all terrorists. In case the killed ones are innocent children and women and portraying them as terrorists would seem to be too ridiculous then US official would once again just uttered the single and simple word “Sorry.

While Pakistani Government high ups, on their part would once again issue a statement expressing their anger over the attack and would also once again boost that Pakistani government would never allow or tolerate any military intrusion or attack on its tribal territory. Many national dailies would too once again pen down editorials condemning the US drone attacks and asking the government to take serious note of it .Like wise electronic media would also once again arrange some talk show on the incident where the invited analysts and intellectuals, dressed elegantly, would once again comment upon it with their usual criticism of the government policy or weakness besides advising it in the oft repeated ways and “ wise” style ,peculiar to the intellectuals.

After a day or so the incident would be once again become old news and thus forgotten. However after few days the same plot would be repeated with US drone once again firing missiles on some village of Waziristan and once again killing many Pakistani tribes men. —
