re: #7 Political Atheist

Since the criteria is secret )we have no idea how certain) and the administration has re defined imminence, (no proof they won’t attack) the article makes a very valid point. Our drone strike program might sometimes be a war crime.

It makes a perfectly valid point. My point is that saying the invasion of Iraq was legal and drone strikes aren’t is actually working against your point, since the Iraq war was far more dangerous, killed far more people, etc. so much more than the drone strikes do.

I think that our drone stuff isn’t actually useful and should be stopped, but in terms of whether it’s formally a war crime, I don’t care nearly as much as I do of the massive loss of life represented by the Iraq war and what led us to that point.
