As former U.S president Jimmy Carter stated in December 2012: “[The U.S. does] more harm than good by having our drones attack some potential terrorists who have not been tried or proven that they are guilty...
“The drone attacks also kill women and children, sometimes in weddings… so this is the kind of thing we should correct.”
Who are we as a nation we if we deem the lives of untried prisoners and innocent civilians expendable? What good can we gain by committing callous murder in the name of national defense?
How can we be safe if we claim to hold American lives dear while killing innocent women, men, children, and the elderly, day after day abroad?
The law of reaping and sowing dictates that we cannot.
Therefore, we implore you to immediately end the assassination drone strikes
