People Don't Like Drones

Around the world, people do not like the United States' increasing use of unmanned drones to kill terror suspects. The Pew Research Center survey 21 countries from Britain to Brazil. In 17 of them, more than half of the respondents disapprove of U.S. Drone strikes. The researchers say that reflects a perception that the United States goes it alone and does not consider other countries' interests. As the military draws down overseas...the White House is ramping up its use of unmanned drones. In contrast to the global results...the poll finds most Americans — 62 percent — approve of drone strikes to kill terror suspects.

The other whiners aren't sending their troops to be killed either. Tough if they don't like it.

And the fact that they are just realizing this now proves that the United States really does not care about other countries.

There is no good reason for the use of drones in this country except for gov't to take more of our rights away.

we won't care until they start killing americans with them, and you can bet it's only a matter of time! judge, jury and executioner!
Why send a cop to just get hurt, take them out with a drone strike! logical next step isn't it?
