These are the right questions. Drones have been determined to be the most effective military weapon at this time, both militarily and politically (the American public doesn't want to send troops in but they also don't want these groups to exist). I think there is a dilemma here.

I think another "right" question is how do we determine who gets put on the drone "hit list"? This article put this question at the forefront of my mind: http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/i-am-on-the-us-kill-list...

But this isn't limited to just Drone killings. This applies to much broader contexts...for example the governmental handling of Aaron Swartz comes to my mind (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz).

I think it is becoming increasingly clear that the US government isn't always acting in the best interests of the people or liberty...so how did we get here and how do we fix it? What is a better method?

And that is where I think this conversation starts to get very gray very fast.
