[Vision2020] "No man stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child"

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Donovan,

I don't think they save lives, clearly they cost the lives of their victims, who are regularly civilians. And they will inspire more people to fight. What's the evidence, besides the government's self-serving claims, that they save lives?

Sunil,
 
I don't have a quarrel with you either. However, to claim Obama targets children with drones is an extraordinary one to say the least. And you know what they say about extraordinary claims, they need extraordinary evidence to support them, and you have provided none.
 
I do not contest that on occasion US military actions result in the deaths of innocent lives, including children. However, they are not intentional, and the overall net impact of drones saves more lives, good soldiers, bad soldiers, and innocent civilians, than they cost.

Donovan,

I should start by saying my quarrel isn't with you, it's with Obama and his drone policy. At some point, and for me it was passed long ago, when we keep killing kids with drones, Obama doesn't have to say that. He just has to keep sending them out, and it amounts to the same thing.

Sunil,
 
Do you think a drone is going to fly out of his head and kill that kid? 
 
Obama--"This is the Commander and Chief, send out the drones, and target all kids." 
 
General Smeeremall--"With pleasure, Commander!"
 
 
Cannot see that happening. But I might just lack imagination.

Sadly, all men are bad who send out drones that kill children.
