I know, I know, I’m fixated on this topic, and killer drones. I just can’t accept what my nation has become. I won’t accept it. I can’t believe we do not see ourselves as accountable to any higher law. This article discusses the topic of targeted assassinations in the context of foreign policy. But American readers should beware. The author seems to think that the lives of people outside our boundaries matter, and that our leaders shouldn’t be able to kill them with a mere accusation of terrorist activity. I realize that the U.S. is very kind to nations that open their markets to us, but Genghis Khan had a similar policy. Give us the best of your stuff and we’ll let you leave you alone.
