A hypothetical question for anyone who supports the use of drones/summary executions

27. No, it has not 'only happened in war zones'. Unless we have declared war on

Pakistan and Yemen. Have we?

A mother and five of her children were killed by drone last week in a country with which we are not at war. That country has repeatedly asked the US to keep their drones out of their sovereign nation.

I realize that a mother and her five children who are not American are of lesser value as human beings to some people in this country. But where I come from, that mother and her innocent children are of equal value to any mother in Cleveland or London, or Paris.

We apologized of course, oops, sorry we 'made a mistake'. Fifty years from now that mother's family will suffer the loss of their loved ones.

Let me ask you this, do you support what happened to that family? Do you support the US going into any country they feel like going into and killing innocent civilians? Do you believe that family is any less human, any less devastated by the loss of those innocent loved ones, than anyone in the US might be?

That is just the most recent travesty, many, many innocent children and other civilians have been killed by drones operating in parts of the world where we are not at war.

It seems there is a disconnect in this country among some people regarding the right to life of all human beings. At least during the Bush years, the 'left' condemned these killings. What makes 'right' now?
