Double Tap

Post by Fan » 10-04-2012 09:51 AM

This is just the lowest of the low. Don't blame the world for hating the attackers when they do things like this.
Suppose you live in some hill village in western Pakistan and one of the families nearby has a boy fighting with the Taliban who has come home for a visit, bringing several friends with him. It’s worrisome, because you are always hearing American drones overhead — and sure enough, one day there is a terrifying explosion and his house is destroyed.

What do you do now? There was a whole extended family living in that house: children, old folks, a cousin or two. Some of them are probably still alive under the rubble, perhaps badly injured.

Do you rush over and help to dig them out? Better not. The Predator or Reaper drone (lovely names) will wait until all the neighbours have gathered around, and then launch a second Hellfire missile onto the site. Double tap.

A mind should not be so open that the brains fall out; however, it should not be so closed that whatever gray matter which does reside may not be reached. ART BELL
