exactly two wrongs do not make a right, just because drone attacks are not acceptable that does not give Taliban the right to attack innocent Pakistanis. more Pakistanis have died at the hands of these goons than drone attacks. Both are vile and despicable.
No, I am specifically talking about dual standard in the case of Malala, how come one attack is ignorable (drones) then the another one.

An attack on any innocent is unacceptable, whether by drones or TTP. You cant just condemn one and not the other. In case of Malala she was specifically targetted by these animals because she dared criticise them. Do you condemn that?

Easiest question ever. The reason is that the Drones arent targeting civilians, while the terrorists are targeting civilians directly.
If the Pak army were attacking these bearded dogs, and inadvertently hit civilians, you would not have claimed the Army was intentionally attacking civilians would you...
There is no double standard. There is a difference between people being killed accidentally and children being shot in the head by people who intentionally target them.
Brother, Drone attacks is not coward way out of problem, it is technologically advance though expensive way to deal with parasites hiding in mountains. Your statement is just like saying, to kill rabies infected dogs using gun (or any weapon) is cowardly way of killing them.
Pakistan only has one way, and that is to send people on ground risking their lives to kill these ‘Taliban’ parasites. Even if Pakistan had drones they could not have afforded to use them [unless USA would have given them charity (Bheek) to use them], as it takes thousands of dollars in fuel to fly them and millions of dollars per strike as cost of missiles drone uses. That means, Pakistan sacrificing their ‘soldiers’ and spending ‘money Pakistan do not have’ to get rid of parasites on mountains, or let those parasites kill 100s of innocent Pakistanis each day.
Fortunately, Americans with their technologically advanced weapon and money is helping Pakistan save not only lives of Pakistani soldiers (who would have sacrificed their lives killing parasites on mountains) but 1000s of innocent Pakistani civilians who would have become victims of these parasites.
Actually, all is happening with consent of Pakistan army and Pakistan government knowing their own resource restraints, so drone strikes are not violation of Pakistan sovereignty, rather a help that anyone takes from outside to get rid of parasites infecting their home.
Till now, Pakistan only asked Americans to get rid of these rabies infected Taliban parasites from tribal areas, as these areas are not manned by Pakistan police nor Pakistani laws exist there. In effect, these areas are not constitutionally part of Pakistan, because Pakistani constitution is not applicable in these areas. Anyhow, if rabies infected Taliban parasites get widely spread in settled areas too, it is possible that Pakistan might ask Americans to get rid of these parasites from settled areas too.
I said its a coward way out because its an easy way out, without the regards of civilians that might be on the ground at the time of attack. Money is not an issue for American govt so lets not bring the price tag in the picture.
Yes, attack on any innocent is condemnable. and my point is that those drones attacks are also condemnable too. But I dont see that happens with that passion as in the case of malala.
My question is still unanswered, drones attack are done by most civilized nation of the world. So according to your definition, they are animal, but if they are not then why are they behaving like that.
I have never supported drone attacks and neither have I supported TTP. You still havent answered my question whether you condemn the attack on malala, yes or no?

You have to understand the human psychology here STA. Malala case has a face and a name attached to that. Any act of evil suddenly becomes very close to our heart, once you attach a name and a face to that. The condemnation of Malala act is not the denunciation of drone attack.
Proof is a burden i KNOW, but it is something that is required before you can make some claim… In the case of drones, people have no evidence that civilians are targeted, but they assume they do because in their twisted minds, muslims are saints, and everyone else is trying to kill them.
On the other hand, evidence is abundant to understand that the Taliban intentionally attack civilians, but in the case of the Taliban people become apologists and ignore all evidence.
You people have misplaced priorities. The drone strikes arent the issue, its the terrorists that invite them. And why should we have sympathy for those terrorists. Blame the Terrorists and the govt which refuses to do the job the drones are doing.

Stupidity of these people is mind boggling.
now thats the problem..no one is supporting TTP here ......
but if someone talks about civilian deaths he is automatically assumed as TTP sympathizer thats the point of OP.....
Why dont you feel pain for death of civilians in drone attack....
now, this is rude comment. because innocent people could not defend by themselves and external forces are launching drones attack. this is not the ethic of war. and btw, you think a complain could work. there is already one case against CIA operative in the court. I wonder if that complain ever been listen by any gov’t entities.
