I was just having this discussion with my wife. I am not comfortable with the use of bombs like that. I have a hard time explaining why, but the use of explosives on our citizenry in that way is not something I agree with. I think a lot of people are going to end up being uncomfortable with this when a more public discussion is had.
Of course, I also disagree with the use of weaponized drones in warfare, so there is that.
