If it's a crime against humanity, why shouldn't it be outlawed?

Shouldn't all crimes against humanity be outlawed?

Driving your car to work is fine. Using it as a getaway vehicle after a bank heist is not.

Drones for Intel and in designated war zones is fine. Surprise attacks on civilian targets in foreign nations we are not at war with is not.

This one's really pretty simple. But, how to keep the war dogs on a short lash?

So what do the Democunts actually enact?? Obama has had 8 years to do something about the Patriot Act but he just kept it. Not to mention the FBI investigated that gay club shooter twice so not like they are going to prevent terrorism with the Patriot Act.

This is why I'm voting for Bernie Sanders; because Shillary won't reform the Patriot Act or RICO, either.

The problem isn't with the soldier who's ordered to fly the drones, it's with military planners and their corrupt political masters who see them as 'clean' and 'surgical', as if there are no consequences.

The blowback is very costly, even if it isn't measured in dollar costs to the defense industry shareholder's bottom line.

Interesting also that it was Germans who protested- apparently American citizens, in whose name they're ostensibly being sent, can't be brought to care.

drone strikes are rarely ordered by military commanders. they are ordered by the legal dept, no shit. i think if we are going to use drones, then there should be boots on the ground in visual range. drone strikes should only be used in support roles, ie-benghazi.

Wrong thread. This one is about runaway militarism and the indiscriminate use of drones.

Also known as a crime against humanity.

If it is wrong to send drones to kill innocent people, why is it okay for Bernie to want to steal money to give to people who will vote for him, so he can vote to fully fund the pentagon budget and make some more drones.....

...to kill innocent people?

Lawyers will destroy the world if we let them. We did the very same thing in Vietnam and look how that turned out?! This shit has got to stop.
