3. Drones are Obama's weapon of choice. He is only increasing and

expanding their use. They should stop now, but won't.

5. the use of drones and high rate of civilian casualties only serves

to increase the hatred against the US which in turn is seized upon to justify the use of yet more drones, it is a self defeating cycle that IMO will not end well for anyone

4. This will come back to haunt us. This is a bad policy and a cowardly tactic.

If your nation killed my family with a drone attack I would spend the rest of my life plotting revenge.

6. Those cowardly weapons should be banned.

I think one day they will be. I wonder who manufactures them? Considering how incredibly controversial they are around the world now, it is incredible that the US Government would just ignore the calls for them to put out of commission. There must be a lot of money invested in them. Just like the Naked Scanners. This Government no longer listens to the people at all! They just do whatever they want for profit and tune out all voices no matter how legitimate they are.
