US Drone Strikes: What's the big deal? Good idea or bad? Why?
In my opinion, the US drone strike is a good idea for many reasons. Firstly, the United States is flying these computer operated jets over nations and killing citizens. Secondly, the United States is benefiting from these drones because they have the technology and they do not need to send their human army and risk loosing lives. The United States is taking advantage while also in violation of human rights. For example, they use these drones in order to target Al-Qaeda, an Islamic terrorist group in Iraq. When they hover over the territory, they target "so called" Al-Qaeda members. The problem which lies in this is that the United States has zero proof in the identification of these members. In addition to their "false marking", they are in violation of sections 2,6,7,8,9,10 and 11 which are outlined in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. The main violation is under section 11 which states that "Citizens that are charged with a criminal offense, have the right to remain innocent until proven guilty. As well, the citizen is guaranteed rights that will allow him/her to properly defend himself/herself." These drones are killing citizens without the United Sates giving them a proper trial for their offense against society. In conclusion, the drone strike in the US is a positive one and I hope for the strike to continue.
I also believe that the US drone strikes are a good idea. Like you said, they are saving tons and millions of lives. The US has already suffered so many casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq. They are not prepared to lose more soldiers. I like how you included Human Rights into your post. Awesome post EM!!!
