It seems you want others to care for Pakistani territory when Pakistan itself does not care about what happens in its own areas.

Pakistan gave US implicit permission to launch drone attacks on its territory. It was a well-crafted drama: from the faux outrage to protestations about civilian deaths. Victims have a case, it's against the Pakistan government for not protecting them in their own country.

Then let them pursue due process in courts with jurisdiction over that area.

US drone strikes kill US, Italian hostages in Pakistan
Documents quoted by the Italian daily La Repubblica this week show that the US government signed an agreement with the Lo Porto family on July 8, to pay a total of 1,185,000 euros ($1.32 million) as a “donation in the memory of Giovanni Lo Porto.”

The agreement also confirmed that Lo Porto was killed in Pakistan.

The admission was made shortly after Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s visit to Washington.

The US Embassy in Rome and Lo Porto’s brother, Daniele, confirmed the payment made to Lo Porto’s parents, Vito and Giusy.

“We did that knowing that no dollar figure would ever bring back their loved ones and, out of respect for the families, we are not sharing any details of those payments,” a spokesman for the embassy told The Guardian.

On the anniversary of Lo Porto’s death, his family complained that both Rome and Washington had forgotten about them. No Italian government officials showed up for Lo Porto’s funeral, his brother Daniele told The Guardian.

Following the payment, Lo Porto’s mother Giusy released a statement indicating that she did not believe justice had been served.

“I will not see my son at home with his smile. They took my precious son and they also killed me. Now all that remains for me is to wait until the last day of my life for divine, not earthly, justice,” she said.

According to the documents obtained by La Repubblica and seen by The Guardian, the condolence payment came with the following disclaimer:

“This does not imply the consent by the United States of America to the exercise of the jurisdiction of the Italian courts in disputes, if any, directly or indirectly connected with this instrument. Nothing in this instrument implies a waiver to sovereign or personal immunity.”

No money for families of Pakistan's Drone victims but only for their own Crusader Allies.

Many Pakistani civilian also killed by the drone strike are they going to pay for those family too ?? or the blood of innocent Muslim is very cheap that just saying sorry will solve the matter . this kind of injustice spreading revenge and terrorism among Muslim . justice should be equal to all if you want to bring peace in the world . arms race and showing military power cannot eradicate terrorism fully .
