Killing people remotely with drones where you are at no risk , you do not experience the visceral impact of your act is the most cowardly act a human being can do. It is worse than killing and it is worse than murder, it is EXTERMINATION. The last government to practice this extermination as an official policy was the Hitler regime. To do this without due process of law even on Americans and With such callous disregard for human life that it is conducted with the same lack of precision we use when we spray bugs, is the worst obscenity in American history.

It is what it is.
Legally, it’s often First Degree Murder of children. Followed by lying about it. Implying that it is OK to kill Muslims. recommended.
Killing and crippling children from afar is impersonal. Amounts to statistics and following policy guidelines. 5 million dead in Nam going after “body count” qualifies for extermination. Nagasaki?
“We’re” a fascist empire with 10x the military might of any other. “We” also believe in angels more than any other country. Perhaps “we’re” the religious extremists that “we’ve” been warned about? Regardless, wars of aggression are built on tribalism, propaganda-fueled racism, hatred and greed. Sorry, if I’ve offended. Its just my opinion. rec’d
Thank for a brief and powerful comment, appropriately offered on February 7, the 48th anniversary of the initiation in 1965 of the regular bombing of North Vietnam after campaign promises of “No wider war.” Arbitrary murder by executive fiat destroys the legitimacy of any government that conducts it, and that is the grim reality we must confront.
