FRIENDLY FIRE DRONES ON

It was inevitalbe that we would hear of our drone aircraft, which for the past several years have been raining down fiery death and injury to thousands of innocents in Pakistan and Afghanistan, would kill American GI's in a high tech version of "friendly fire". The two American soldiers blown to bits today in Helmond Province, Afghanistan, by a errant drone missile fired by a confused joy stick jockey at a computer game board in Nebraska made the front pages of every American paper today because they were Americans. But those same members of the free press are obvious to the endless foreigners who meet the same fate.

Afghans have gone on the rampage in recent days, even killing members of the UN mission in Mazar-i-Sharif, ostensibly over reports of the Koran burning by Christian Florida pastor Terry Jones. Even President Obama weighed in last year when Jones first threatened to burn the Koran, saying his actions jeopardize the safety of American soldiers. The US agonizes over the exercise of free speech, however misguided, by Pastor Jones, while it spends trillions of borrowed dollars to fight three criminal wars in the Middle East and Northern Africa.

President Obama and his American war party conducting these self destructive wars should get this straight: They don't hate us for our freedom to burn the Koran. They hate us for our freedom to burn their people
