It is commendable the great work young Malala has done, promoting education for young girls. This makes it all the more appalling that the Taliban would shoot her, a barbaric action. It is great that she got the treatment she needed, a British doctor stepped up, and she's making a recovery.
However, there is something worth remembering in all this. Many young people are being killed and injured in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Yemen, by un-manned US drone attacks. The attacker is safely far away, in a control room, removed from the violence. Barack Obama has been ordering these drone attacks and evading questions about civilian casualties. This is appalling.
