Default Human rights lawyers are to sue Foreign Secretary

Looks like the fight against terrorism has entered into a new dimension in the uk!!

Human rights lawyers are to sue Foreign Secretary William Hague over the alleged use of intelligence in assisting US drone attacks in Pakistan.
The case is being raised at the High Court in London on behalf of Noor Khan, whose father was killed in a US strike.

These human rights hypocrites really piss me off, I wonder if they would have the same views if one their family was to be killed by terrorists.

German proverb. Wash my fur but don't make me wet.

Protect me from the bads guys but don't get your hands dirty. Give me an injection at the dentist, but don'T do animal experiments. I want to have a party, but I do not want to do the cleaning. Make the suspect giving you his info, but do not force him. Free the hostage, but don't attack the kidnapper. Save the world, but not in my backyard. Reduce spendings, but not at my cost.

Got it?

That has to be one of the best German proverbs I've ever heard of. Unlike most of them it looses nothing in translation.
