DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nAkbar Ahmed comments on the recent debate over the use of drones by 
 the Obama administration.     \n\nU.S. Government firepower and its vast 
 anti-terror network have turned the war on terror into a global war on 
 tribal Islam. And too often the victims are innocent children at school, 
 women in their homes, workers simply trying to earn a living, and 
 worshipers in their mosques. Battered by military attacks or drone strikes 
 one day and suicide bombers the next, the tribes bemoan, "Every day is like 
 9/11 for us."\nAkbar Ahmed, professor of Islamic Studies in the School of 
 International Service at American University.  Ahmed is also a nonresident 
 fellow at the Brookings Institution and a visiting professor at the United 
 States Naval Academy.  \nSource: Book TV at American University: Akbar
