Drone strikes kill far fewer innocent kids that conventional high explosive or cluster bombs - by a long shot, actually. The warhead is 20 pounds of high explosive, as opposed to many hundreds, or even thousands, of pounds of explosive.

What exactly is the question at hand?

I'm not aware of any fake tears at all. If you have some facts regarding that, please enlighten us.

The title is what one would call a loaded question. It draws its premise from an inaccurate assertion. In this instance, you have been invited to demonstrate facts that support the premise of your question. In the absence of such facts, the question is illogical and unworthy of further response.

I do believe that any human being would find it difficult to make a decision to engage in military action against an enemy with the knowledge that there is a significant risk that innocent civilians will be killed. I would expect that such risks are weighed against the security interest with which the commander in chief is charged. The drone strikes are against the leaders of the same criminal enterprise that was responsible for thousands of deaths of Americans, and of other innocent civilians world-wide. That same organization has planned and threatened to cause further bloodshed.

With respect to the relevance of Finn's comparison between the firepower in released in a bombing raid and the firepower contained in a drone, he was bringing up another consideration in the use of drones. A conventional military assault on the criminal enterprise would utilize considerably more firepower, and would also likely result in more deaths of civilians who were caught in the cross-fire.

Do you shed fake tears for all of your dead Mexican neighbors killed by your wacked obsession with free and easy access to military grade weapons and cheap drugs? Wrap your mind around what a logical fallacy is, why doncha?
