I've been paying attention to the Drone Program for years.
And it just makes me so sad.
9/11. The day Americans feel so strongly about that they say "Never forget". Saw around 2500 Americans killed. A tragedy for sure. But you've retaliated and killed over 50 fold as many innocent civilians abroad as retribution for this event.
How do you as a people walk around head held high, knowing that every few months you are committing a 9/11 event to other people. Imagine if the 9/11 terror attacks were happening in america every few months. Again and again, innocent people dying all around you. Your brothers and sisters. For no reason.
Think about this. If France gained intel that there was a possible terrorist target in a stabucks in downtown Manhattan. Based only on loose suspicion. And they used a drone to blow the building up killing 22 Americans. There would be public outrage demanding an apology and immediate action be taken to punish those in charge. It would be on every news channel. People would be mourning. News channels would say "never again can we let this happen".
And yet you just go around the rest of the world doing it on a weekly basis to other people and don't think twice about it.
It brings me to tears knowing how absolutely blasé you guys are about it.
