    How do the terrorists prove the drone strikes were actually on weddings and not targeting terrorists? Goats are killed.

    If a US drone pilot (operator?) deliberately targeted school children, we’d charge him with murder no matter where the school was. When terrorist start punishing their own then I’ll take these kinds of complaints seriously.

    One of the first things that came out of Wikileaks was a video of a U.S. chopper-pilot and gunner deliberately killing a group of Iraqi people, among them journalists. Nothing ever happened to that crew…

    Well, if the lawyers say it’s OK, it must be OK.

    People who defend the drone attacks should have their houses fire bombed while their families are home. The White House would be a good first choice.

    A few months ago I kept getting absurd justifications to my protests and disgust regarding the appalling drone programme.
    Perhaps Rall’s reversal of the roles puts it in perspective for those who still support the drone programme.

    Is it just my thinking, or has Rall finally lost it completely?

    Rall is asking, What if the rest of the world played by the same rules we have laid out to attack others?

    @ruff

    Radish has it. Simple role reversal.

    @pdchapin

    No. none of the drone pilots will ever be charged at all. Never.

    It is ironic, I think, that Teddy doesn’t see a rational at all. I mean, remember 9/11?
    Fact is, the best way we can fight terrorists is with terror… from the sky. Every time a new leader pops up, cut off his head. And anyone in his immediate neighborhood. Every time.

    It is just you. One way to illuminate a problem is to reverse it. Suddenly things ignored originally sit out in stark contrast.

    Well played, Mr. Rall.

    It’s funny that our right wingers would be outraged if we decided to “allow” a foreign nation to build a military base in the U.S., but don’t understand why when we do that elsewhere, it makes far more enemies than friends.

    @Mr. Ima

    Because the locals in the area report it to the local authorities as we would do if it were happening to us by use of Chinese armed drones. That is how. Not that you care until American drone wars are used here for law enforcement. Just imagine it creep.
