America is hated because others have short memories. Those drones you are hating on have brought terrorism by some groups to its knees. War is always a trade off with the innocent paying a high price for the betterment of many others, just as any justice system, innocent people will pay a price for the betterment of the country's fight against crime. It's not perfect but then what is.

Well fuck me, I'm on GC's side (ish) for once! War is indeed a trade-off, and no action is ever really without collateral damage. Given that none of us know what the implication of not doing these strikes would have been, it is hard for us to weigh the consequences against the objective. What if the strikes have prevented five or ten or fifty more 9/11 like attacks?
