These Children are Just as Precious as Our Children
Naming the Children Killed by U.S. Drones |
I was raised during the years of World War II. During my childhood, although I was raised in New York City, I experienced war-related dreams. One of these dreams I relate directly to Dr. Mengele’s medical experiments on the bodies of children. It was the worse nightmare of my life. Another dream, one that I still experience dates from that time: There is a terrifying buzz coming at me from the sky. My entire body begins to shake. I know that I am the target, because the projectile making that sound has me in its crosshairs. I know I will surely die. I believe this dream is how a child who is about to be killed experiences a drone strike.
The CIA has killed between 475-891 children in Pakistan between the years 2004-2013; US covert action has killed between 72 and 177 children in Yemen, and 11-57 children in Somalia.
These are the names of children killed:
