Actually, I do see the justification for the directed drone strikes on terrorists leaders. The methods of engaging in warfare have changed; the technology has changed; the subjects of aggression have changed. I believe that the leaders of organizations whose method of warfare is to kill anyone they can kill to make their point (whatever point that is) are engaged in war against us. So long as they are engaged in their operations, they are subject to becoming casualties of war.

Agreed. Still the whole drone thing is a cause of concern, gnat sized robets with poison tips, scary.

Unless you mean we should send say Gore over to Afghanny
