Targeted assassinations are barbaric. But when they are carried out by drones firing missiles they are especially heinous. It’s bad enough when an assassin walks up behind a target and puts a bullet in their head, but to kill by remote control from Las Vegas is repulsive. If our “leaders” are going to continue on with this obscene program than they should be forced to take a turn at the controls of the killing machine. All 536 of them.

I suspect that a lot of them would really enjoy such an assignment.
