There would be collateral damage I suppose, but isn't that part of deescalating wars, and it would be far less than what would happen if they invaded us.
Drones are on the market now, there's big money in them.
Eg, there was a Cuban terrorist here who was responsible for killing dozens of innocent people and who was wanted by Cuba for trial. So would it be okay for the Cuban Govt, to get HIM with a drone? I'm not sure why we did not hand him over, at least to the International Court for trial. But we didn't.
I can see a future where every country in the world will claim the same rights we are claiming, to go anywhere in the world and kill people they claim litigimately or not, are terrorists.
Unless you think we have some special privileges in this world and that the world agrees with that.
Eg, all those children who have been killed, they have family members who view the US as terrorists now. Would they be entitled to a peace prize also if they simply used drones to get revenge, that is what we are doing, isn't it, seeking revenge for 9/11?
Funny how we always seem to think we are the only country in the world with a reason to want to kill people. And that no one else has the right or even wants to do the same thing.
We're not.
