Drones are fools gold: they prolong wars we cant win | Simon Jenkins

Drones are fools gold: they prolong wars we cant win | Simon Jenkins.

It would seem that lessons have not been learnt from the attack on the Twin Towers. The USA continues to use its military might to remotely attack civilians in a vain attempt to improve “the security of Americans”. These numerous attacks, personally authorised by Barack Obama, are not justified and will continue to cause hatred and unrest in the countries they ‘manage remotely’ by these airstrikes.

Barack Obama has a huge challenge ahead, and one that needs support from all Americans. You cannot win hearts and minds with violence. And that applies also to domestic policy on guns in classrooms.
