Pakistanis March Against Drone Strikes
Military's favorite toys not very popular
Islamabad (CNN) -- A convoy of more than 100 vehicles left Islamabad, Pakistan, on Saturday on a march toward South Waziristan to protest U.S. drone attacks.
Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan is leading the march, which includes about 35 members of the U.S. anti-war group Code Pink. The group traveled to Pakistan last week to join the march, group representative Mirza Shahzad Akbar told CNN.
"We are here to say, on behalf of those Americans with a conscience, that we apologize to the people of Pakistan for the killing and suffering," Medea Benjamin, a founder of Code Pink, said at a news conference Thursday.

Hmm, no mention of the WTC and sponsoring terrorist training camps? Curious.
These idiots need to just fix their god damn country. You fix your country and then there won't be drone attacks there.
Pakistan is going to be backwards a century from now if they don't get their act together soon.
