   Now let’s see a show of hands from all the innocent people who’ve been bombed by them. Oops. But we all know it’s only American lives that matter, right, Danziger?

   My hand is raised, it’s time for all Americans to raise their hands, less life lost for American troops is better. The enemy want’s to kill us, can’t people get that thru their heads?

   Drones are more accurate than cannon or bombs. So we should go back to a less precise method of warfare and kill MORE civilians? Great logic!

   I raise both hands. Yes, innocent American lives are much more valuable than terrorists lives.

   russel5419: Yep, nothing creates that feeling like having some bully kill your baby. The answer is to stop invading just any old place with resources the multinational corporations want to steal.

   I’m not sure I see the moral or practical difference between killing somebody with a drone and killing them with a bomb dropped from a plane. Except that drones have less collateral damage. Is that what people are objecting to?

   War is nasty. If you don’t like it, don’t fight it.

   @Ms. Ima

   And for the 999th time, you know that the particular people being killed are involved in terrorist activity how?
   
   Look, I’ll even make it multiple choice:
   A) You can feel it in your bones.
   B) If they aren’t terrorists, why are they hiding behind those suspiciously dark skin hues?
   C) The Obama administration said so, and they would never, ever lie to us.
   D) They committed suspicious acts by refusing to cede their sovereignty and control of their assets to American corporations.
   E) Who cares whether they’re actually guilty of anything? There’s an infinitesimally minor chance that they might someday be involved in something that might threaten your well-being, and that to you is more important than any considerations of their survival.

   Ima the Almighty has just decided (2 hours ago) who’s lives are valuable and who’s are not. Better take notice and hope you are on the right side.

   Well put Gary. Unfortunately, it will just bounce off the thick, carapace like, bubble that protects Ima and others like him/her from facts.

    Its war – shit happens. As long as they werent actually targeted in the first place its just though luck. Pakistan doesn´t want the drones – they should actively do something about the terrorists hiding there.

    Again, I would like to point out that we had a reason to go into Afghanistan, How short some memories are! The thing that our Commander in Chief didn’t consider is that you finish what you start before starting something else. Too many military leaders have learned this the hard way, Of course there was no reason to start the second war except for encouragement from his big oil supporters and a desire to avenge his father.

    I’d like to see you be this magnanimous about it if it were your children’s bodies lying there mangled in the wreckage because of “tough luck”. Your compassion is lacking dude!

    And YOU want to kill the enemy. Sounds about equal to me.

    @russell5419

    And how do you know who is an enemy and who is not?

    The truly dangerous drones are the one’s supporting the “queen bees” cry for more senseless wars.

    
    If you want a dedicated enemy, kill their kids, invade THEIR lands, and demand THEY let YOU rule!
