yeah, that was mentioned in an article i read about the drone strikes. that people who weren't involved are becoming so because their relatives are killed and were in no way involved as terrorists.
a bad war is a bad war, regardless of who, or how it's being waged. a 'war' on terror has as much of a chance of ultimate success as a war on drugs.
the terror 'war' can't be waged conventionally, because it's not a country. that explains why we're still in afganistan after all these years, with no winning end in sight. terrorists are individuals in various countries. they're criminals and must be handled the same as any other criminal. they should have never been elevated to combatant status. they aren't combatants. they're members of gangs essentially.
