CF,
During the second world war, many Germans born in america returned to fight for the fatherland, and, many of them were killed by allied troops in the process! When it comes to why the son of al Awlaki was killed, we are operating with incomplete information. We are told by some that he had no terroriwst leanings, however, we do not know that to be a fact. The fact thaat al Awlaki was an American born citizen does not bely the fact that he was an intellectual leader of the radical movement and published constant tirades on the internet that are still being used to this time to recruit the faithful to the fold. He was very high on the United States kill list for a very long time and this idea that he had some special protection because he was a U.S. citizen is a falsehood.
The United States did not start this war that burst into the open on September eleventh, 2001 with the deaths of over three thousand U.S. citizens on American soil. This is a war against stateless bandits bent on as much destruction as they can possibly inflict using any methods that they can muster to do so. It is easily forgotten that bin Laden had been attempting to acquire nuclear weapons almost up until the day that he died! And, he would almost certainly use them.
As far as the use of drones generating more resistace than it extinguishes, we simply do not believe that at all. The resistance has long been there and the several hundred that have been killed by drone attacks just helps to cut off the head of the monster that confronts us.
IOVHO,
Regards,
Joe
To say that "God exists" is the greatest understatement ever made across space and time.
