What we need to do is what is best for our country and our allies and innocent people killed and maimed by lunatic terrorists. What exactly we need to do is up for discussion and for more informed minds than mine, though.
The drones must be effective, or they wouldn't still be done. It is a problem, though, and I suspect we'll look back on these days and realize it was too much. The idea was supposed to be laser like precision, but it's getting to be less and less of that, it seems.
But we don't know the whole story of Yemen. We don't know who they were after. It may be a difference of opinion, too. When a terrorist hides behind a woman's skirts, and the terrorist is one bad dude who you know will kill innocent women and children for his supposed cause, do you kill the woman to kill the terrorist, thereby saving many more? People differ on that opinion.
One solution: Yemen can get those terrorists the heck out of their country. Problem solved. AQ is there with the approval of the govt, I believe.
