US terrorism from the skies: The truth behind drone strikes as the president’s personal choice of warfare...

Imagine attending your son or daughter’s or brother or sister’s wedding, a family member’s funeral, or just relaxing with friends at a local restaurant. While you may be busily living the most exciting high point of your life to the lowest grieving the loss of a family loved one, to just attending an everyday social gathering, all of a sudden your world is abruptly shattered never to be the same. Out of the blue from out of nowhere, a bomb hits and you are either dead, or barely alive suffering from life threatening injuries, or traumatized for life, forever changed for the worse. You will never enjoy another wedding, attend another funeral, or experience another emotional high or joy without sudden flashback memories of that fateful day flooding your consciousness and invading your world. Intrusive fear and panic rule your daily life where your sense of normalcy and homeostasis is forever knocked out of whack. Destroying lives is what US predator drones do every day of the week, year in and year out for more than a dozen years to thousands of innocent people in the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa and no doubt other hidden places we do not even know.

Terror from the skies causes Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and severe depression in surviving victims. Mothers become so terrified they frequently stop sending their children to school. Recurring nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety attacks often linger on haunting victims for years after the traumatic event has come and gone. Moreover, virtually all the people suffering from US drone strike terrorism remain untreated without psychological care, treatment or support. Americans that never experience this level of sheer trauma and terror have no clue how their nation’s longtime drone policy devastates so many lives thousands of miles away. Again, it is largely a matter of out of sight, out of mind.

Return to the drone attacks at weddings, funerals or just hanging out with friends, how do you think survivors of US drone blasts respond to seeing their lives literally shattered and destroyed? Needlessly losing your loved ones compliments of US Empire terrorism is a very bitter pill to have to swallow. Becoming easy to hate America as your eternal enemy, the human response is to want to get even, seeking revenge and avenging the tragic deaths of those you loved. Full story...
