RE: "China Is Treating Islam Like a Mental Illness"
In the tribal areas of Pakistan, the pray for cloudy days and children fear the humming of drones all day. But please, excuse that away too. I'm sure it's their fault they were born in a region of the world the United States Government wishes to control. It is America's destiny to control the planet right?
It is?
No, it does seem to be the view of many Americans who find excuses for the imperial nature of the US Government.
Defending a drone program that operates in a dozen countries without a declaration of war as "fighting the terrorists" sounds to me like parroting the Pentagon talking points. What's a "terrorist" then? Anyone the USG says is a terrorist? Opens the door for unlimited aggression abroad if domestically Americans give it that type of cover.
I haven't defended any of Obama's drone wars in particular.
