It seems strange to someone who is not living in the US or Israel how people can just say as this author does "By most accounts, hundreds of dangerous militants have, indeed, been killed by drones, including some high-ranking Qaeda figures." It's as though the only thing that bothers the majority is that a terrorist didn't die but someone else. There is a clear divide from the rest of the world which still finds it strange to kill someone without declaring war or having a clear reason. And from the tone of this article i wonder if that divide isn't a lot further than i thought. The idea of killing someone just because we think they are a threat... sounds like a sci-fi novel to the rest of us.
