(47,992 posts)Greenwald and the midwives of Atlas Shrugged are saying, "It won't happen" even though they don't have near enough of the right kinds of information upon which to predicate that ABSOLUTE 100% prediction.
And the rest of us are supposed to pretend, because Greenwald et al say so, that there is no risk.
How many dead bodies is too high a price to pay for being wrong?
Then if something does happen, a HIGHLY MARKETABLE COMMODITY known as Plausible Deniability, will be used to sell the people even further down the river.
And, just like with Sandy Hook and largely from the very same crowd, we'll be told to just get over it.
So the putative reason to oppose drone programs, "Innocent people die" doesn't matter if Greenwald et al are wrong about the risks. It only matters if the elected representation of the people of this country make that decision.
All while Greenwald and other "citizens of the archipelagos" impeded any attempts to address U.N. reform, so they are enabling the abuses perpetrated by the IMF, which evoke terrorism in the first place.
Although there are authentic peace advocates, this Ron/Rand Paul variety of phony peace advocates also stand in the way of the regulation of fast-and-furious assault weapons markets all over the world.
