I am pacifistic (I would like to be peaceful but I'm not quite there yet). I think war is obscene; I think war will eventually be considered not only archaic but gauche.

I don't see the big difference - given the aims of war - between one weapon or another. We started out, no doubt, with choking each other with bare hands, progressed to spears, then arrows, then bullets (single ball, rammed into the barrel) then to the Gatling and indiscriminate bombs, then to hand guns and rifles, and military guns with sheets of rapid-fire bullets. Somewhere along the way we learned how to kill each other from shipboard from miles away. Then of course we refined our skills to the ultimate bomb that could kill hundreds of thousands of people at once.

So, a drone? Just another refinement.
