11. US Drone Strikes: What's the big deal? Good idea or bad? Why?

                In my opinion the technological advancements in weaponry have exceeded the practicality of their use, with the prime example being nuclear weapons. Given that nuclear weapons have the capacity to destroy the entire earth (and are thus not favoured in warfare), I believe that the usage of drones from a military standpoint are much more practical and are a good idea for strategic attacks. This is not to say that I support war, however drones have the ability to exclude humans from being present when an attack is taking place (the concept of remote controlling a weapon from a distance alleviates and reduces the allied death toll). Additionally drones have the ability to attack precise targets, as opposed to simply devastating an entire city; as well as being able to strategically spy on a desired target. Thus I believe that these weapons are a good idea since they are practical and more sophisticated than standard warfare equipment.
