Well, if those drones were attacking the government or army that are "controlling" those nukes I'd quite agree, but since they are aiding the Pakistan army in keeping the folks in Waziristan from taking over the whole country - and the nukes - I'd say they are closer to being part of the solution that the problem. The takfiri really don't need US drones or Blackwater as motivation to want to take over from the people currently in power. Frankly, if it weren't for the nukes I'd say let they fight it out and good luck to them. But this is indeed an ugly one.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
