(13,714 posts)Having people assassinated without any kind of due process is a crime and, in my opinion immoral. Worse yet, in the course of these drone strikes, many innocent bystanders, many of them children, have been killed. Furthermore, these actions have generated widespread hatred of Americans throughout much of the Muslim world, thereby increasing, not decreasing our risk of terrorist attacks.
Many DUers felt, rightly, that George W. Bush should be impeached, among other things, for actions similar to these. Why should we feel differently about it when conducted by a Democratic President?
I do think that Obama is better than Bush. At least he didn't start an unnecessary war. But he certaininly has continued one much longer than was necessary.
