The motivation of the vociferous campaign against Drones is that they’re effective and have got Extreme Islamists crapping themselves .

Much of it is a cynical manipulation of western naivety .

Yes innocent civilians have been killed, but some are not so civilian in its true sense .

Terrorists in general prefer not to live alongside those who aren’t active supporters of their ideology and methods .  
If there are ordinary people knowingly, as opposed to Terrorist Safe houses , in the proximity then they are either "encouraged " to move elsewhere, or they tend to disappear .

Anyone who shelters, feeds, supplies, finances, supplies with information a terrorist group, is a Terrorist Logistics soldier in just the same way that someone who supplies the same services in a conventional army is also a soldier.

Somebody murdered by a beardless 13 year old suicide bomber, or an attractive young female suicide bomber, is just as dead as somebody shot by a grizzled 60 year old veteran male guerrilla fighter.

If you don’t want to die alongside Terrorists then I suggest that you don’t hang around with them .
