If one of your kids died by a drone attack in a undeclared war by a foreign nation I'm sure you would be singing a different tune. Would it make everything alright to you if they tossed you a few thousand dollars and said here is your compensation, we are now even.

that's what 9/11 compensation was....and yes, we deliver mcdonalds to the other countries
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
that's what 9/11 compensation was....and yes, we deliver mcdonalds to the other countries
This is your take on things... does it change so much when it's a predator drone or a terrorist bomb???
Again, your words: (with slight changes)
If one of your kids died by the hand of a terrorist attack in an undeclared war... I'm sure you would be singing a different tune.

You are taking the word of the government killers without a chance for the US citizen to defend against the charges. What you are citing IS propaganda put out by the Administration.
Why did you cross out the sentence with "probably" in it? You realized how flawed your argument is?
Probably was good enough evidence to burn witches!
we can all agree that this was a tragedy....but it wasn't MINE....K? i don't feel any more pain for these kids as i do for the thousands of heart breaking mother's who buried their kids in other countries that were killed by u.s. soldiers under the u.s. government orders to do so.
murder is murder ............. plain and simple.
U.N. team to investigate civilian drone deaths Special rapporteur said that civilian killings in follow-up strikes could be found to be war crimes By Natasha Lennard
The United Nations plans to set up a special investigation unit in early 2013 to look at incidents of civilian death in U.S. drone strikes. Speaking Thursday at Harvard Law School, U.N. special rapporteur Ben Emmerson QC, who monitors counter-terrorism programs, announced plans for the investigative team, which will be based in Geneva. According to the UK’s Bureau of Investigative Journalism, “U.N. investigators have been critical of U.S. ‘extrajudicial executions’ since they began in 2002. The new Geneva-based unit will also look at the legality of the program.”
Emmerson said in his Harvard announcement, “If the relevant states are not willing to establish effective independent monitoring mechanisms … then it may in the last resort be necessary for the U.N. to act.” He noted:
[It is] alleged that since President Obama took office at least 50 civilians were killed in follow-up strikes when they had gone to help victims and more than 20 civilians have also been attacked in deliberate strikes on funerals and mourners. [U.N. consultant, professor of human rights] Christof Heyns … has described such attacks, if they prove to have happened, as war crimes. I would endorse that view.
Emmerson’s announcement comes the same week that the Washington Post reported on the Obama administration’s expanding kill lists and the institutionalizing of the U.S. drone program. Close

This is what happens when a stampede hijacks a thread.
The subject of School Shootings ends up about Drugs in America and Drone Strikes in Yemen.
