AP IMPACT: study suggests drones kill far fewer civilians than many Pakistanis believe

35. OK so what would be a better way to approach the issue?

OK I got it, you're against the drone strikes.

You think it is bad because it leads to a cycle of violence.

You make a great point and I agree with some of your principals.

So that's why I'm just trying to figure out this question:
If there are terrorist groups in Pakistan planning attacks against the US and other countries, what can we do to stop them?

I understand you don't like drone strikes. I don't like it either. But I was just thinking that targeted killings were better than the alternative. I thought the alternative would be less precise bombings, which would be worse.

So far the drone strikes combined with intelligence gathering and special forces, so basically what we've been doing, that's the least violent option I've heard so far.

How would you approach the issue of dealing with the militant extremists?
Or do you think there is nothing that needs to be done?
