America:Land of the murderers?

[GiannKall]

You asked my opinion and i will answer. I think Assad must go but that must occur after negotiations and Putin is the only man that can achieve this. So i dont have a problem with Russian intervention. I remind you that only under Russian intervention there was a truce. America on the other hand doesnt have a plan for peace. They just throw bombs here and there

So ,this intervention killing so many people is ok but the US killing 150 people in Somalia is a crime?
Btw,dont be a stranger,visit the Turkish section sometimes,you are welcome neighbour.

I am quite sure that American bombs have killed more people in Iraq and Syria than Russian bombs

The article explains your mentality. You are destined to believe that all these 150 people were "bad guys" and they deserved it. Who cares if we dont know their names. We murder people but at least we dont feel guilty dont we?

That is Your opinion.
In the real world, the decision to strike with a drone is based on intelligence reports.
The decisions are only as good as the reports.
Sometimes they are wrong.

I do believe, that if they were Al-Shabaab volunteers, they certainly deserved it.
For that, I don't need to know their names, only the history of the organisation.

Relying on drone attacks to kill terrorists does not solve the problem unless there is a concentrated and real effort to battle terrorism.

Let's use Yemen as an example. USA has been done attacking Yemen's Al Qaeda for several years. But it's ally, Saudi Arabia's attack on Yemen has strengthened Al Qaeda and ISIS in the past year, rolling back any gains the drone attacks might have achieved.

The drone attacks made for some useful political achievements locally in USA, but without real and concrete plans, it was more or less useless. Using drones to kill terrorists is easy, making hard geopolitical decisions to reign in their allies is much more difficult

It's the same in Syria and Libya. To directly or indirectly support or create a situation that gives rise to terrorism and then use drones to kill them is like taking someone a ride to the hospital after giving them Aids.
