Live by the sword, die by the sword.
I understand that you don't like the use of drones, whether your politics support Al Qaeda and ISIS or you just don't like drones, but the bottom line is drones kill fewer people than conventional warfare. If we had to send troops in to fight ISIS or Al Qaeda more people would die (many of them civilians). If we didn't fight Al Qaeda or ISIS at all, more people would die. They are taking over towns and cities across the middle east and killing people
Let me ask you this: how many videos of ISIS beheadings do you have to watch before you think the US has the right to drone them?
Did the 21 at a time not do it for you? How about the women & children they've killed, does that tug at your heartstrings just a little? Give me a number, 100, 500 just how many people need to be killed before it's okay for the US to try and stop them?
