American drones strikes may have killed as many as 40 Yemeni civilians over the past year, the UN reported on Monday, offering a tally of the human cost of the long-running US campaign against al Qaeda in Yemen, which has continued amid the chaos of country's current war.
Al Qaeda, which has capitalized on the ensuing chaos to capture some territory, claimed responsibility for attacks that killed 24 civilians — fewer non-combatants than the UN says may have been killed by the American drone program.
Yes, but without the drone strikes, tens of thousands of Yemenis could have been killed or brutalized by the 40 civilians the US killed. These things are complicated.
ROFL!!:

What you forget is that Yemen is a small country, the US is huge in comparison! /s
