You know, if a horde of terrorists were on their way to attack an overseas US base, and our drones took them out, and one of them happened to be a 16 year old boy who was an American citizen, are we supposed to somehow NOT kill him while stopping the attack? Would people really be so stupid as to claim his rights were violated?
If you can see the stupidity of that kind of thinking, it should not take much effort to realize we cannot afford to wait until an attack is underway. If we can prevent an attack from even getting off the launch pad, then we should do so. And sometimes that means a pre-emptive strike.
If you are hanging out with terrorists in Yemen, and you get killed, that is not the fault of the US government, and your rights are not being violated.
It isn't like this kid was killed while sightseeing at the top of the World Trade Center.
Kill the brown babies.
Got it
