State Terrorism at its Worst: U.S. Drone Wars

Joe's Cafe [In Large North Hall]

Commercial Dr. at William St



Increasingly
the U.S. military is making use of drone attacks in their so-called
“silent wars”. The impact of these “silent wars,” carried out
with unmanned drones that remotely fire missiles on targets thousands
of miles away, are silent for the American public. U.S. soldiers are
not being killed on the battlefield, they are in offices where after
a days work of remote-controlled killing, they can go home for
dinner.



However
the use of drone warfare is anything but silent for the targets.
Nearly 4,000 people have been killed from U.S. drone strikes in
Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia, (as reported by the The Bureau of
Investigative Journalism) where the U.S. is waging an undeclared war
of terror. Despite claims of drones using precision targeting, the
overwhelming majority of the victims are civilians, including women
and children. The use of drones has increased more than six times
since U.S. President Obama has been in office, prompting CNN to name
drones Obama’s “Weapon of Choice”.



This
new extremely dangerous and illegal type of warfare is becoming more
and more an issue that the antiwar movement around the world is
discussing and protesting against. Join this forum to find out the
history of drone wars and to discuss how antiwar activists and
peace-loving people in Vancouver and beyond can join in opposing this
criminal activity and to demand an end to drone warfare.
