I really do hope the Terrorists are terrorized by drone strikes

Since drone strikes kill ten civilians for every terrorist, i consider it the worst form of terrorism... Only bigger piece of shit than a drone operator is the politicians that allow it to happen

I understand your grievance and why someone might feel this way, but you didn't answer the question..

Regardless of what you believe terrorists deserve, do you believe US drone strikes could reasonably be classified as terrorism?

Bin Laden was living with most of his family. If we had used a drone strike and ended up killing him and his family
Would you be whining?

If a drone strike killed a small child, then yes - are you saying muslim children are worth less then other children?

That judgement is the one that active terrorists make when they drag their families along or use local townspeople as human shields

In some respects, this is true but there are instances where the USA just plain fucked up and hit the wrong target. It's all fun and games until this happens in your own backyard. Think very carefully about it because in time, many nations will have drone technology... USA is the schoolyard bully but guess what? There is always someone bigger and badder... If you keep fucking with people, eventually they are going to try and get even. You can't kill a man when he's got no hope.

[gagekko]

Haha... Christians? The way u talk, u don't even know what that is. I'm guessing you were about 5 years old during 911.

about 4 decades into my life
We totally fucked that response up.
We have all these Nukes we aint using. We should of availed ourselves of one of them when we knew where the target was

 

[gagekko]

Then why don't you get your tough old ass to Iraq and put them ragheads in their place if you are so for righting the wrongs of 911?

Im guessing your Guessing is slightly miss judged i was in my last year of high school and one of my family members died in it so it kinda fucked up my day.

 

[gagekko]

I like how all you air chair tough guys wanna bomb the world but you're all too busy getting stoned and growing your weed (and most likely to chickenshit) to pick a riffle and fight in a war.

 

[gagekko]

So what's your excuse? Why didn't you join the military and teach them ragheads a lesson?

 

[Padawanbater2]

It would be wrong to murder his family, yes

That judgement is the one that active terrorists make when they drag their families along or use local townspeople as human shields

It is still wrong to murder innocent family members of terrorists or civilians. Both groups have no power over the actions of the terrorist in question and their actions are most likely a consequence of circumstances. Much like I have no control over what my neighbor does, whether he's practicing for the local talent show or building IED's in his basement, you bombing his house while I'm 5' from his property is putting my life in risk. I don't believe you have the right to decide the fate of my life simply because my neighbor decided to wage war against your country, that sounds absurd.

I remember when Al Qaeda missed their targets and ended up killing 3000 innocent people at the world trade center
They never apologized or made reperations for that

Again, how is this an innocent persons problem?

That isnt Terrorism that is act of war we don't blow ppl up in-less we have a reason to blow ppl up if you live by or near a terrorist then well you need to die.. or you need to take action and gtfo before you go boom i love the drone 200 dead not one soldier destroyed flawless Good Game..

I'm not even going to bother with this one, you're seriously misinformed, I guarantee a neighbor of yours who lives less than 300' from you, right now, is breaking a law. I'd probably put money down that you yourself are doing something illegal or immoral as well, so don't throw rocks..
