On a more serious note, we've been going after people dead or alive every since the earth cooled. I suppose a drone is a little more discriminate than a cruise missile.
Will the politicians abuse their latest shoot 'em up gadget? Need I ask?

So, as a civilization, we don't need to advance? What was good for Wyatt Earp and the James Brothers is good enough for us now?
Actually, I do see the justification for the directed drone strikes on terrorists leaders. The methods of engaging in warfare have changed; the technology has changed; the subjects of aggression have changed. I believe that the leaders of organizations whose method of warfare is to kill anyone they can kill to make their point (whatever point that is) are engaged in war against us. So long as they are engaged in their operations, they are subject to becoming casualties of war.
