I know Afghans and Pakistanis mourn loss just as much as we do. Whether it's from terrorism or from drones, it still hurts and the human cost should never be disregarded. Sometimes sone of us think our pain means more than others'.

Not arguing with you. More just thinking this OP through. There's truth in it.

Peace.
