IMO, a moral analysis of predator drones in a vacuum would probably find them morally questionable-HOWEVER-their targets are individuals who generally only attack innocent and defenseless civilians-and then retreat into the civilian population and hide among them. This is an abjectly IMMORAL form of warfare-if you can even call it that. Therefore, the use of predator drones to attack and kill those who kill innocent civilians and attempt to hide among them is inherently justified.

Those drones do a a lot of patient circling waiting for the moment when they can take a shot without endangering civilians.

It's actually a righteous form of warfare.
