The current U.S. policy of unmanned drone strikes has lead to the deaths of over 150 children and innocent civilians that we know about; the very secrecy of these attacks, which Human Rights groups have been working hard to combat, means that the numbers are likely much higher.
What is the reward against this cost? Even if the attacks were as successful as five Al-Qaeda for ten civilians each strike, that ratio still cannot justify the rising death toll. We are one of the most powerful nations in the world, with one of the most powerful (and well-funded) Militaries. Is their no better way to seek out and prevent terrorism without being terrorists ourselves?
