Missiles fired from suspected US drones killed at least 15 people inside Pakistan today, the first such strikes since Barack Obama became president and a clear sign that the controversial military policy begun by George W Bush has not changed.

Just to be clear, my point isn't that the attack was a bad thing. It continued a Bush policy of applying pressure to the terrorists in the region. If kids died, that's very sad. However, in a war, it's inevitable that some innocent lives will be lost. I'm just wondering where the "Bushitler" "war crimes" people are? Isn't this the sort of thing they've been screaming about for years now? Is it ok now that a Democrat is responsible for it? Just wondering.
