Well, of course they count. How could there be any reasonable ques--
*What's that, sir? Oh, they're our drones? Ours. The U.S., right? Ok, roger that.*
No, drone bombings are definitely not a form of terrorist attack. How could you be so feeble-minded as to wonder if they could be. I'll bet you're a Muslim.
Oh yeah, sorry. I forgot. Those are not bombings, they're freedom rockets!
Isn't it interesting how we make semantic demarcations between types of killing. Terrorism morally wrong, collateral damage, morally acceptable. Like it matters to the people on the sharp end. "Oh, you're terrified by the bombs landing around you and killing and maiming your kids? That sure sucks for you, but it's not terrorism because we were AIMING for that guy with an rpg.
