I have wanted to write about Obama's drone wars for a long time. There is nothing I disagree with him more on than on this issue.
Now there is a new report by NYU and Stanford which supports my basic beliefs: That drone strikes in Pakistan under Obama are not only immoral and probably illegal, they are causing the people in Pakistan to live in terror and are making people in that part of the world hate America. The only justification for drone strikes is to fight terrorism, but with every person we kill or terrorize, we create new enemies and increase the ability for terrorist organizations to recruit terrorists. We bomb, we kill, we terrorize, and this makes us less safe, not more so.
