U.S. drone attacks in tribal areas of Pakistan is “an unfortunate
chapter” in Barack Obama's presidency, say Liaghat Ali Khan from Kansas
City-based Washburn University.
“Unfortunately President Barack Obama, despite getting a Nobel Peace
prize very early in his presidency… has morally degenerated,” Professor Khan
said in an interview with Press TV's U.S. Desk on Saturday.
“(This drone war) is very unpopular in Pakistan and the people of
Pakistan oppose these drone attacks by the U.S. So I don’t think this drone war
is doing anything for the U.S and is tarnishing the moral integrity of President
Obama.”
Despite his pledge of reaching out to the Muslim world, President
Obama has made no effort to connect with the Muslim world.
According to a report by the London-based Bureau of Investigative
Journalism U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan have killed up to 168 children over
the last seven years. However the CIA claims that not a single civilian has been
killed as the result of drone strikes.
