Americans - how do you morally justify drone strikes in the "War on Terror"?

So, level with me, how many of the bright-eyed-and-bushy-tailed Hope And Change supporters that you recruited four years ago would have signed on to the program if they knew that here, in 2012, we would be talking about how imperative it is to be in a neverending non-war with an “ally” that involves the regular killing of children, weddingoers, funeral mourners, and other civilians, all justified under “anyone who lives in that part of the world must be one-o-them terrorists, and killing terrorists is what the President is supposed to do”? Do you think you could have won the election in 2008 if you had been honest about perpetual warfare and piles of dead Muslims being Obama’s legacy?
