Summary/Abstract |
This essay analyses the US drone strikes in Pakistan both from a strategic and tactical perspective. The legal and purely ethical aspects of the subject are not examined. Instead, the paper takes a nuanced position on whether the US drone attacks should continue in Pakistan. It argues that in this bigger picture, the employment of the drones points to fundamental strategic weakness in the overall US-Pakistan effort rather than a failure of the drones per se.
