I quite agree.

But I think fixating on drones is the wrong issue. A drone is a vehicle. The same weaponry can be carried on a helo, a manned plane, a ground vehicle, or often even by a man on foot.

The circumstances under which it is proper to use that weaponry does not vary with the vehicle used to carry it.

I agree that drones pose a lot of privacy and civil rights issues, but this “drone-strike” issue isn’t one of them.

Wholeheartly agree. The real issue here is: Does the President of the US have the authority to order a drone strike or any other strike to kill an American on foreign or domestic soil without going through the courts.

A sniper kills one person usually. Drone strikes have generally killed more than one person. A drone strike uses explosives(Hellfire) to kill.
