PE ON TO THE WHITEHOUSE: No More Drone Strikes that Inevitably Kill Children

[SA210]

"Stop Killing Children. No matter the excuse. Do not bomb innocent people, do not drone attack Arab children."

Please pledge to stop issuing drone strikes, that inevitably kill children and innocent men and women. An open heart is the way to peace, not with superior firepower. The right to human life of these people should not be infringed, and the amount of innocent children dying for our perceived increase of security is nowhere near justified, and in many senses counterproductive. Killing a child in every Arab family is no way to make people want to attack us less.

The terrorists, much like Hamas, aren't idiots. They surround themselves around kids. They operate out of mosques.

Also what is the big deal about drones? How come they cannot just be against attacks in general?

I'm against attacks in general myself. I do think the drone war is also important to focus on as well.

It's crazy that a lot of the general public have no clue what a drone is.

they're upset because they have no way to fight back....drones pretty much renders the local terror game useless...so what do they do? they surround themselves with children, get bombed, and then start a campaign that says you're killing our kids...what these guys want is for Obama to put soldiers on the ground that they can stab, shoot, and kill with terror vests and road side bombs...

but now we have the DRONE so they can really retaliate against it....those people don't give a about those kids...

Death is inevitable tbh. Death by drone, not so much.

Hey SA210 you dodged the question last time but you believe that the towers were not brought down by AQ and that makes our military presence unjustified right?

There is no 'as well.' All I see is a fixation on drones that you are spoonfed.

You're the last person to call anyone out for dodging questions buddy.

You're the last person to call anyone out for dodging questions buddy.

The questions you asked me repeatedly whether or not there were more guns and if crime had been going down. I posted the Yale article stating that more guns did not equal less crime. Now it has morphed into this. The entire argument started from CC talking about good guys having guns and you babbling about deterrence.

I said I was trying to be nice. I am not being civil anymore. I don't see the point.

You familiar with the concept of a strawman?

Nah I just deal with facts and numbers.

You'll change your tune once the price of drones drops.
