America increases drone attacks in Pakistan

It may surprise some of us that President Barack Obama is being referred to as the drone president in Pakistan because in his time the amount of drone attacks has increased significantly
 for those who don't know what drone is i would like to tell you that a drone is a special unmanned aerial vehicle which has became a favorite of  american military  for attacks in Pakistan  which are called ( UAV) for short  it attacks with an AGM-114- hell-fire missile in Obama's time the ratio of these types of attacks has been doubled in just two years these attacks started in 2004 with just one attack and in 2005-06 and 2007 2,2,and 4 attacks were carried out by drones but in the year 2008 the number became 33 and in 2009 it was 53 but during Obama's time in 2010 the number became 118 and in 2011 it is 57 and counting........
but that's not the problem the problem is that in each drone strike 10 civilians die for one militant and that really scares me.USA shows that 80% of the people killed are militants but still USA needs to improve it's drone tech.
NOTE:I do not  own any of the images above.
