Beautiful thing about the drone killing program is that the more innocent people they kill, the more radicals they make.

Good business if you've got a drone-program MOS.

Same thing with cops & prison guards. Cops' interests isn't aligned with less crime, the incentives point to more crime.

Same thing with prison guards. More prisoners, more guards, more of that sweet, sweet OT.

The apologists contort within their minds to end up as they do. Their use of "innocence" with respect to children presumes only their children's world provides the context for such innocence. Threats to children come only from those who threaten their children, never from us to others' children.

We don't threaten children. Shame on you.

Then you are firmly against drone strikes then?

I am pro drone strikes. We only target terrorists.

Still no answer.

Be kind to Strategist. He's in a moral and temporal dilemma: torture really. Those children killed by US drone strikes, had they not been killed, could have later become guilty of terrorism either by growing up and seeking vengeance, or by not seeking vengeance but being turned against the US when we tortured them in order to get information about their terrorist parents. Of course, the drone strikes themselves could have come about based on information derived from torturing the children of terrorist parents or even the parents themselves, the guilt of whom was never established without the torture itself, so there's that little bit of torment he has to face. So go easy on him, he suffers, and we do not.

Fools. Car accidents kill more children. So you are against driving cars?
It's the INTENT that matters. Drone strikes target terrorists who kill children. Killing terrorists SAVES LIVES. You guys just don't get it, do you?

Every time a drone flies over a civilian town or city, it threatens children. For America to target civilian population centers is shameful. For anyone to deny this happens is utterly despicable as it condones the action and empowers those in government without a moral compass to engage in even more evil.

Strategist says

I am pro drone strikes.

Then you are every bit responsible for hurting, maiming, and killing children. You are shameful.

Strategist says

It's the INTENT that matters.

The intention behind drone strikes is to kill anyone who opposes the interest of the American government and big business, terrorist or not, regardless of how many children are killed. The intention is that profits and natural resources are worth more than the lives of foreign children. So, yes, the intent does matter and it is vile.

And the word terrorist is just a label used by people like you to justify any evil. Try to define the term and I'll show you how the term applies to people and organization you do not want labeled terrorist. The word terrorist is the new "nigger", a term whose only purpose is to dehumanize not delineate people and actions. Nigger, terrorist, communist, witch, witch, witch!!! The dumb love their buzzwords.

[Waiting for some dumb ass conservative to make the Straw Man argument that I'm saying terrorists are the good guys. You know they can't resist trying to twist the previous paragraph to suit their narrative.]
