Morality of Drone Strikes?
Is there such a thing as morality when concerned with drone strikes?
If we use them how would it be considered immoral for the opposing side to use them against us?
If we kill civilians then it may be acceptable for them to kill ours.
Tend to view drone strikes as immoral as nuclear strikes (i.e. a crime against humanity).
Was an interesting quote in Homeland's first episode stating there being roughly 8000 predator drones in service today.
Roosevelt was once quoted to "walk softly but carry a big stick". Are we walking softly?

Some humor needed.
