Both you and Mr. BS are looking at this too simply.

First, I am not against using the drones. So far I do not think the moral issue is a problem.

The issue I raise is NOT a fair fight issue, but a moral one of a combantant that can wage war without facing the same consequences as the enemy they are attacking. So long as the drones are used selectively I do not see the moral problem.

However, does the using the drones mean that Nevada faces a greater chance of being attacked? If so will the drones lead to victory or an extension of the war?

Long before drones fired missiles at them, terrorists were happy to kill Americans where they can find them. So long as we aren't deliberately flying civilian aircraft into civilian targets in an effort to purposefully kill as many civilians as possible, I think we have the moral high ground.

What the hell is your point Colin? Whatever it is, it is a stupid one.
