What's in store for Pakistan?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Fatima Bhutto, niece of assassinated Pakistani president Benazir Bhutto, and author of Songs of Blood and Sword: A Daughter's Memoir. As flood relief efforts continue, the U.S., with the support of the Pakistani government, has increased deadly drone operations. What explains this? Join us at 11 or send an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. Bhutto says if it weren't for American money and political support, the Pakistani government would not be in power. What lies ahead in this relationship? It's Your Call, with Sandip Roy and you.

Your Call 042809 How does remote-controlled technology change war?

How does remote-controlled technology change the nature of war and surveillance? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about unmanned aerial drones. They're being used to drop bombs in Afghanistan and Pakistan, to track smuggling on the borders with Canada and Mexico, to find survivors after disasters, and for domestic surveillance. Who is piloting these drones? You can join us by calling in or by emailing feedback@yourcallradio.org. Is the world better or worse off with this technology? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Peter Singer, senior fellow and director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution and author of Wired for War

Eric Stoner, a freelance journalist based in New York, and a contributor to Foreign Policy In Focus
