""You can't negotiate with it. You can't reason with it. You can't surrender to it or even discuss anything with it. It isn't human. It has no empathy, compassion or moral sense, anymore than a bullet does. It has no pity. It doesn't even know what it's doing. It exists only to kill and it has no conscience. There is no hope of any mercy or any understanding in a machine.""

All very neatly expressed LH, and with the exception of just a couple of words it is a neat, complete, and succinct description of those terrorists which the drones are seeking out and killing.

I don't like the idea any more than you do, but when you can't put boots on the ground a drone is often the only alternative.
