 Pro-Life Means Anti-Drone
If life is sacred, how can we justify the random killing of innocent children?
My pro-life position is simple: Life is sacred. Life is so sacred that for it to be taken there must be an extremely good reason—and there are few good reasons. Convenience is certainly not a good reason. This innate sanctity of human life is something virtually all civilized people recognize despite one’s politics. Even those who identify as pro-choice are only comfortable with abortion to the degree that they can downplay or dismiss the humanity of the subject at hand. CONTINUE . . . |

Poncho, collateral damage and casualties have been a part of warfare since the first recorded (not to say such didn't occur before this incident) Abraham went off to rescue Lot.
In the case of drone attacks, yes innocents are killed and injured. But, far fewer innocents are casualties than in previous bombing campaigns with dumb bombs. And there is nothing random about it, the folks you are speaking about are located in the kill zone centered on one of this countries enemies. It would be a whole lot cleaner if our enemies would locate themselves away from non-combatants. But, that's not how they operate. Quote: |

First we are not dealing with an enemy represented by a nation-state or even a would be nation-state. We are dealing with the modern equivalent of land "pirates". Unless, you think that if the US withdrew its troops and financial interests to within its borders the Salafists would cease their attacks. I on the other hand believe that the Salafists look at our very existence as a non-Salafist Muslim country as a cause de guerre. As such they will keep on attacking our country at home and aboard.

Take a look at the article, folks.
It's an eye catching headline to make the point quoted below. Quote: |

I believe there is merit to poncho's OP! Under Obammy the drone strikes have escalated deramatically. Reportedly he is the one who pulls the trigger for each strike. The question is: Does the intelligence warrant this escalation or is Obammy pulling a Bill Clinton magnified 1000 fold?

>No one is randomly killing innocent children
Agree! The US government intentionally commits act which will kill children under the rationale better to kill sand citizen children than have sand citizens kill American children. In other words, humans are not "created equal" except in the sense that human females are still required for the birth process. |
