So, from your response, I might say just as you see nothing but a "rah! rah!" in mine, I could hear the booing contained in yours. It's really very simple, if drones were flying over the heads of people in our own country, capable of taking any single one of us out for suspect behavior, would you consider that as a reasonable or acceptable condition of life?

I understand that the USA believes that they can discreetly continue with their war mongering thru the release of drones upon the rest of the world, thus supposedly reducing the loss of military forces they formerly had to put on the ground in risky environments and precarious terrain. That is still waging war and ultimately, whatever "enemy" it is they seek to put down, will logically multiply, due to the terror tactic of drone striking innocent populations who had absolutely no bone to pick with Americans in the first place. Creating enemies, murdering civilians.

Well if that's true 2naSalit Feb 2014 #1
