If we DON'T criticize the admin for this, there's something very wrong

114. Now we should change the subject to drones,

because I won't pretend that the president has dictatorial powers.
I get it, you can't make Guantanamo credible and choose to move on.
The President has ordered drone attacks and obviously this is well known by the Congress of the USA, at least if they get the same news that most Americans do. We can argue about whether Congress has tried to stop these strikes, they could cut funding specifically for them, they could even do it in the defense spending bill. Since we both know they haven't, then we could argue about whether they are legal under some international law or other. Since I know of no legitimate attempts to enforce any international laws, I at least have to believe that it isn't high on the list for the UN or whomever to enforce.
Moving on, the last thing that we could argue is whether the drone strikes were moral. As a realist, I can't believe that the US has no moral recourse against admitted members or supporters of a terrorist organization like Al Qaeda, just because they are hiding in a country that allows them or doesn't have control of parts of their own territory.
