the fact is their are plenty of anti-american groups worldwide as well as groups that are ....as you say...targeted by the local government..... but america is not attacking the chinese triads or the bulgarian mafia they are attacking so called al-queda in several (always coincidentally resource/oil rich) nations and we are considered lucky too even know about our own military bombings in pakistan and yemen...........the gov't of deleware is more powerful than the gov't of yemen..... so suggesting that they are "allowing" these drone strikes is wrong........ they simply cannot do anything about it.................... and many "officials" are likely being paid off or being threatened, whether through the US military power or simply their own local/ tribal gov'ts which can hold more sway over certian regions than the legitamized (by UN standards) gov't
Again, we do not go in place not wanted by the local government. This isnt justification. This is there is more than what is covered.
