Before CIA-operated drones began to blow our people to pieces, the word 'drone was considered innocuous. If someone said so and so was a useless drone, it meant he was a dunce not worth the note. Now we have actually grasped the meaning of drone. It can render families homeless, children fatherless and women widows before you could say 'drone. Prime Minister Gilani doesnt like drones neither does the army chief, but Mr Zardari has no issue with them since he is on record having said so to our masters, the Americans. Predator and Reaper drones carry Hellfire missiles, which on striking the ill-fated people suck the oxygen around. So other living things like animals, birds, and insects too die a painful death. Humans are blown to pieces; their bones and flesh sometime flying in the air. Private TV channels should interview the lucky ones who survived a drone attack for the viewers to know how it feels on the other end of joysticks the drone operators use to cause mayhem.
