Drone bombings

Bill Moyers:  “The Times told of a Muslim cleric in Yemen named Salem Ahmed bin Ali Jaber, standing in a village mosque denouncing Al Qaeda. It was a brave thing to do - a respected tribal figure, arguing against terrorism. But two days later, when he and a police officer cousin agreed to meet with three Al Qaeda members to continue the argument, all five men - friend and foe - were incinerated by an American drone attack. The killings infuriated the village and prompted rumors of an upwelling of support in the town for Al Qaeda, because, the Times reported, "such a move is seen as the only way to retaliate against the United States.”

I believe, and the evidence available supports it, that the US drone bombings are inspiring more terrorism rather than reducing it. I believe that is the intention of the US government. Drone bombings are immoral and anyone who supports them is supporting evil.
