Topic: Murder by Drone is Still Murder | |
---|---|
The CIA has used such weaponized drones to kill some 2,500 Pakistani civilians in the past three years.
The number of U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan alone has increased from 52 under President George W. Bush to 282 so far under President Barack Obama, with more than 2,200 people killed by drones in that country over the past three years, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism… the U.S. currently deploys drones in noncombat zones in countries where no formal war has been declared. How comfortable would America be if other countries, including its enemies, did the same? What moral ground can America claim if and when that happens? - “Drones in an ethically unknown territory,” Deseret News, August 6, 2012 http://www.deseretnews.com/article/765594949/Drones-in-an-ethically-unknown-territory.html?pg=all “Portrait of a Drone Killer: ‘I Have a Duty, and I Execute My Duty’, One wonders if drone pilot Col. D. Scott Brenton listens to Louis Armstrong in the suburban Air National Guard Base in Syracuse from which he murders people 7,000 miles away… When instructed to kill someone he has stalked from the air for a prolonged period, “I feel no emotional attachment to the enemy,” Brenton insists. I have a duty, and I execute my duty.” When the deed is done, he points out, nobody “in my immediate environment is aware of anything that has occurred.” http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/116829.html |

Show me ANY TIME in history, when some innocent have not suffered for the benefit of the rest. Don't want to be hurt, STAY AWAY form BAD people. Rather see missions from the air, then injured boots on the ground. MY son has been there.

I wonder what you would think if some country was bombing us with drones "for the good of the world or for the benefit of the rest?"

What a racist topic. Blaming Hussein for signing off on murdering innocents.
All the articles I've read state they killed suspected terrorists. Ya' kill 'em if they are. Not cuz ya' suspect it. Anyone saying if Hussein is no muslim because he's killing muslims, doesn't understand the muslim rationale. If, they get killed during a holy war, they automatically git their virgins soooooo, Hussein is doing them a favor and honoring them by wasting them. |

And why do you feel it is "racist?" And he is President Barack Obama to me. I don't know who you are referring to. |

It's popular to refer to an article as racist that lays any kind of responsibility at his, b Hussein o'bama's, feet. He does have to sign the order to waste any suspected terrorist. |

Since Terrorists got look at Susan Boyle and saw what a virgin looks like they are no longer interested. |
