6. No it sucks

I've never been ok with the war on terrorism and it's belief that it is ok to preemptively attack anyone anywhere because they might be a threat to us in the future. It goes against everything this country was supposed to be about. One cannot be judge, jury and executioner. And drones attacks are just as bad as indiscriminately bombing the hell out of people. We have supposedly killed the same bad guys numerous times only to find out we got the wrong person. Or just wiped out a bunch of completely innocent people. The wars and the drone program are our shame. But hey, heard last night on the Nooze that Iran helped Syria with that massacre so clearly more war is on the horizon...
