They will never call it off, no matter what we do. In the Middle East, they have been killing for thousands of years. It's what they do. It most certainly predates us.
So what does that leave us? To fight back. The drones are an attempt to fight back without putting Americans at risk, for right or wrong. We don't set out to kill civilians. But if they die in the process, that's unfortunate but I'm not losing sleep over it. They're not shedding a single tear for dead Americans or dead Frenchmen in a movie theater. You can't really fight dogs with kid gloves. You can't wallow in the mud but you have to get muddy sometimes.
What is the killing? Seriously? And as long as they are killing us, it will always be our problem. Keep kidding yourself that leaving the Middle east will make it stop.
Quick question for you, was there a case of a Jihadist attack against the U.S. before our intervention in the M.E.? We all agree this fight has been going on a long time, but were there attacks against the U.S. prior to our influence in the region growing?
