I would also like to add another couple of points to ponder:
(i) The drone strikes has not resulted in the deterioration of the momentum of the militants to launch attacks in sensitive areas of Afghanistan. It shows that the drone campaign has been a huge failure.
(ii) If the drone campaign had brought about a huge success militarily, why has the US significantly decreased the drone strikes in 2012, 2011; as compared to 2009 and 2010? Why have drone strikes been used after a big political fallout, such as the Raymond Davis fiasco, May 2 2011, and now the Shakil Afridi/Chicago summit?
