Cynically speaking, this is win-win for everyone involved. Except for the innocents who are killed. The US gets to debug and optimize their assassination program "on brown people that noone cares about". Pakistan and US also get to claim that they are "fighting terrorism". This breeds resentment and new generations of terrorists to be "fought" in the future (divide and conquer 101). Plus, who knows when and where the droid program might come in handy in the future...
