The reported casualty figure of nearly 700 non-combatants killed from the air in a single quarter suggests a systematic pattern of attacks on civilian infrastructure, a tactic that has drawn condemnation from human rights observers but little concrete international action to enforce accountability. Beyond the immediate horror of the drone strikes, the war's ripple effects threaten to...
