Drones are mainly CIA's way of getting rid of its own rogue assets they no longer need but they are discriminative about it. It kills over 80 % of innocent people than it kills a terrorist. You can say it's war and it is bound to happen and all fine with colateral damage. I will ask you say this if God forbid the victim of colateral damage is your kin. Those who die are siblings, children, parents of others too.
Let's not get carried away by all this and we lose our sense of justice. Malala's attack is as equally condemnable as the drones attacking innocent. Let's not differentiate between the two.
If people can add 2 + 2, they will know how the objective of killing two birds with one stone was achieved here. Just when peace march to waziristan was making an impact on global community and was picking up as the hot topic in the international media and everyone was questioning the drones and their impacts, the same hidden hand used TTP to attack a symbol of bravery and divert the whole attention to that event. This all to show that drones are necessary to kill terrorists. At the very least, drones are creating more terrorists.
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....
Because your equivocating... You intention might not be to support the Taliban, but that is what you are doing. By trying to equivacate, you marginalize the issue at hand (malala) and give the Taliban breathing room, and moral standing. The people who want this issue to die down, intentionally use this argument of "what about the drones!" to divert attention...
There is no comparison between the Drones and Malala Yusufzai except for those who are trying to defuse the situation and give the Taliban another get away free card. Its despicable and the people who make this argument have no shame. Unfortunately, they have succeeded again, and Taliban have won again.
I empathize with all those killed by these terrorists, I feel for all those killed by drones because of these terrorists, and for all those killed because the govt and army refuse to defend the country against these terrorists.
I asked a specific question, if you do not wish to answer it, fine.
I answered it already that attack on any individual either malala/non-malala, is unjust and unlawful, and land of the law is the only law (constitution of pak) can punish/release/guide/whatever it says.
Now, my question,
"Is it OK to kill innocent people in drone strikes? "

I'm sorry but voices against drones were raised way before Malala issue. Why that not awaken international conscience to this level?

i feel pain for malala but that does not mean i should undermine the pain and grievance of the people who lost their near ones in drone attack...
there are rules of engagements...there is geneva convention..and drone attacks violate all these international laws.

Because the same voices raised these issues once again in the context to Malala.. They used it as a tactic to divert attention, and take the heat of the Taliban. Either intentionally or unintentionally. Regardless, they have ensured that the nation will not take responsibility and the drones will continue... Strange irony.

Go and read my previous post and you will get the answer.

You shouldnt bring up the drones in the same context of Malala, because you risk minimizing the crime committed against her.
Everyone hates war and everyone hates death. Its not just you. But someone has to go after the Taliban, and the Pak govt isnt doing it. Your criticsm should be against the Pak govt and these terrrorists.

Because by diverting attnetion from Malala, the govt and Army are now able to ignore the issue and move on. Thus ensuring that the Nation not take responsibility for defending her own citizens and allowing the Taliban to continue to kill whom ever they like. And if the Pak govt isnt going to take responsibility, guess who will. The drones.

Why not Uncle SAM on whose demands of 'Do More' Pakistani government always says Labbaik. Why not Uncle SAM who creates such criminal, supports them and dispose of them when not needed?

They should indeed... Uncle Sam should have much to answer for. But while you are demanding accountability from the US the Taliban are going around destroying your country. By the time you have convinced the Americans to respect Pakistan, there wont be a Pakistan left to respect.
Worry about the immediate threat. The Taliban are the immediate threat, worry about the Americans afterwards.

who says Pakistan army and Pakistan government not doing anything as per the wishes of their lords. whenever America bahadur call a group Mujhahid they treat them like mujahid, whenever America Bahadur says a group terrorist, our army and government follow that order

Americans have been telling Pakistan to attack the Haqanis in N Waziristan from the start, and Pakistan never did... The Pakistanis dont listen to anyone. its only when its in the best interest of the pakistani govt and Pak Generals and their wallets that they suddenly worry about extremists.
You didnt need the Americans to tell you that Fazlullah was terrrorist, a stroll down to Khuni Chowk in Swat was enough for that, and you dont need the Americans to tell you that the TTP are a threat, Malala should be enough to tell you that.
this same US is supporting terrorist organizations working against iranian governments.....
even they are allowed to collect fund in us................:D
The US actions are as shady as any countries, be it Pakistan, India or China.
Presently however, there is an existential threat to Pakistan from these terrorists, which the govt of Pakistan refuses to deal with. Instead of demanding action from the Pakistan state, these people are busy condemning the Drones for doing tha job the govt refuses to.
