As soon as the crips, the bloods, the mafias and the cartels get their hands on the drones, drive-by shootings would seem minor.

(do I see a *pattern* here, or what?), the mafias and the cartels, DON'T have their hands on the drones that've been doing the terrorist bombings from nowhere/unseen in the skies across the world?

If you don't know what "moral equivalent" means in this case, then what a strange, strange world that you live in!

I need only mention US predator drone strikes, using hellfire missiles as the whole world now understands is the US practice, e.g. in "double-tapping" and in free-fire strikes on wedding celebrations. And so on in what is now recognized to be a signature american show of violence, of totally immoral force. I need speak only of that one technique for an overall picture to be drawn. Is that interesting, or what?

indiscriminately and only with a defined policy and protocol.

As much as they are hated on DU by some, they have been extremely effective in controlling/crippling terrorist apparatus in various countries.

Everyone mentions wedding celebrations but far more wedding celebrations were hit with conventional weapons than with drones.

Some people cannot live with the fact that wars have casualties and a percentage of them are innocent civilians.

If the terrorists laid down their arms from Bosnia to Mindanao and surrendered followed by disavowing violence, there would be no need for drones. How many terrorists are going to do that do you think?

If one doesn't want a wedding celebration hit, just don't invite high value targets to the wedding!

If one doesn't want a wedding celebration hit, just don't invite high value targets to the wedding!

I doubt the dear author of that sentiment cares more deeply than that.
After all, the dear author is also counting coup against "the crips" and "the bloods", feeling very FINE.

Bravo!

Put on your thinking cap.
