The most important goal of our military defense strategy is to protect our country. Unfortunately, drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal areas have killed hundreds of children and have put American lives at risk.

A human life, especially that of a child, is sacred in every part of the world. (http://articles.latimes.com/2012/sep/24/world/la-fg-drone-study-20120925).
