13. Really?

Flying remote controlled killing machines over a sovereign country and executing people (guilty and innocent) without judicial process is against "international" law? Surely you must jest! Americans interests trump all others... include life. Until the international community does something (go ahead, pick an appropriate punishment) and stops this sort of imperial, tyrannical, sociopathic behavior, the world ain't seen nothing yet. Just for rhetorical emphasis, how would you feel about somebody flying machines over your heads from another country that kill you (and anyone you care about) at any time,without notice, and with impunity? Would that piss you off? Would you go to the ends of the earth to settle that score? Just saying... Boys and girls, we are the terrorists. And at the very least, we create them. There is a tiny corner of the brain were empathy resides... find it and use it.
