I sometimes wonder that even if most people come to know that most of the victims of drone strikes are innocent civilians will they rise against this silent war that is going on under their name ?
Or will they just rationalize it under biased information from the media and politicians ?

Just to summarize the loss - about 3000+ innocent civilians including about 180 children have been killed there since 2004.
About 50 actual high value targets have been killed in the same time period.

Another nicely put interactive graphic showing the loss. See the change in number of strikes after Obama is sworn-in in 2009 !
