@NickCharnock The reason for this is to protect the innocent. For example, the next drone strike after Al-awlaki was his 16-year-old son.
@NickCharnock That is a false dichotomy. They didn't kill any actual targets in the strike that kill Al-awlaki's son.

@NickCharnock This is different from when an entire country is at war (say, WWI Germany) and you cannot effectively avoid their civilians. - Show replies
