>Some of the comments on Salon are just sad. A death is a death. Whether it's 900 or 2, drone strikes that kill innocent civilians are unacceptable. Trying to justify it by saying that there is only a small death toll number is inhumane.

It's because those assholes didn't have the same thing happen to them, much less frequently.

So they have the luxury to discuss it philosophically.

They also probably feel that the others are less human than their families and friends, being in the third world and all.
