"I thanked President Obama for the United States' work in supporting education in Pakistan and Afghanistan and for Syrian refugees," she said in the statement. "I also expressed my concerns that drone attacks are fueling terrorism. Innocent victims are killed in these acts, and they lead to resentment among the Pakistani people. If we refocus efforts on education it will make a big impact."

Worth repeating...
"If we refocus efforts on education it will make a big impact."

When we refocus efforts on education, won't it be nice?

Thanks for your post, tecelote.

Obama has a Nobel Peace Prize too. A murder by drone peace prize president. Ironic, isn't it.
