Very interesting piece in the New York Times yesterday entitled Drones and the Democracy Disconnect by Firmin Debrabander. Connects the dots in many ways on our current war policy.
"How do drones affect the nation that endorses them — overtly, or, as is more often the case, tacitly? Are drones compatible with patriotism? With democracy? Honor? Glory? Or do they, as I fear, represent — and exacerbate — a troubling, even obscene disconnect between the American people and the wars waged in our name?"
