In reply to the discussion: A hypothetical question for anyone who supports the use of drones/summary executions [View all]jeff47
(26,549 posts)Here, let me enumerate what you missed:
1) Doing nothing resulted in large-scale terrorist attacks.
2) Terrorist attacks result in the US becoming more and more of a police state.
3) If we do nothing, and we are the victims of a large-scale attack, say goodbye to the bill of rights. And say hello to a right-wing junta as the public desperately searches for "safety" from the "daddy party".
4) Right-wing junta will execute a boatload of us for being liberals and thus enemies of the state. They'll probably also work to turn "The Hunger Games" into reality.
So...are drone strikes good? Nope. Never claimed they were. They are the least-bad alternative I am aware of.
So please propose your alternative to drone strikes that will actually reduce terrorist attacks so that Jebbie isn't president-for-life.
