- atlasunshrugged 5y agoYeah, I don't really want to argue this side because I think the drone strikes are reprehensible but in the U.S. there will likely be at a minimum internal investigations, quite possibly congressional hearings, etc. I doubt the same could be said if China did something similar.
- crateless 5y agoIt's not even a debate. Where are the triumvirate of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld after falsely starting a war and destabilising an entire region? It doesn't matter what the country stands for, it's what it does that counts. Due process only applies to American citizens depending on how wealthy you are. The rest of us are sh* out of luck. Which was GP's point.

Democrats live in a perpetual state of denial.
- iszomer 5y agoAgreed but `crateless` diverted the issue. The experience of using Google to search in China is vastly different than the rest of the world, unless you rely on a VPN service. IIRC, VPN usage is illegal and is reserved for the more state-sponsored "privileged users".
