You may recall my past anti - drone thread where I highlighted the dangers of thier use generating huge resentment.
Here are the words of a young Man caught up in the reality of drone warriors;
'Drone strikes are causing more and more Yemenis to hate America and join radical militants; they are not driven by ideology but rather by a sense of revenge and despair'. .
Anti-Americanism is far less prevalent in Yemen than in Pakistan. But rather than winning the hearts and minds of Yemeni civilians, America is alienating them by killing their relatives and friends. . . . Certainly, there may be short-term military gains from killing militant leaders in these strikes, but they are minuscule compared with the long-term damage the drone program is causing. A new generation of leaders is spontaneously emerging in furious retaliation to attacks on their territories and tribes

Whilst I don't condone widespread reckless drone use may I ask what they have to do with house prices and the economy?"If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Apparently there's no house price index in Yemen.
