Which is a situation much more complicated than a holier-than-thou one liner. You're also forgetting that innocent men are killed in the strikes too, which is just as tragic (or maybe more tragic since apparently nobody cares about them).

There is nothing complicated about drone strikes. They are conducted without judicial oversight and without any process, let alone due process, and provably kill more non-combatant civilians than enemy combatants. They are well-documented and there are long lists of the victims with age, name and sometimes even pictures.

Therefore, naive as I am, I thought in my previous contribution: Why not judge a country's values on the basis of their actions rather than on the basis of internal propaganda or wishful thinking.
