the incidence of civilian casualties during drone strikes implies that they're intentionally focused on larger degree social congregations rather than laser specific solitary strikes.

presumably this ensures that not just a target, but target collaborators are also consumed in a strike.

... except when the strikes are mis-targeted, and the amplified social circle pulls in women and children.

yet still no blacklash? why do drone strikes continue? what the fuck?

Isn’t it obvious? We have failed as a mammal.

A wise goat knows not to leave the herd. And it's pretty hard to kill just one ant in an anthill.

That's the 'fuck it, kill em all' concept, certainly approved at the highest levels of certain govt's.

circle pulls in women

Careful, women earn stays in reformatories, guilt avoids no gender.

Because no one inside or outside the US seems willing to haul its ass into the Hague (or other appropriate venue) on charges to resolve the whole extrajudicial, torture, killing, spying, rendition, global non-war war, econ/etc meddling thing, et al. You'd think an accusation of murder would be a guaranteed ticket to at least a grand jury. Yet as months and years tick by those who could do such hauling keep washing it all under a veil of disjointed weak rhetoric till they forget. Why this is... maybe we can't grasp. But the depths to which it could slide are pretty scary, both globally and in everyone's locale.

This is worthy though :) These and others affected are the ones who will never forget...
