A couple of weeks ago I was amused reading that the Taliban and possibly other insurgents in Al-Qaeda's mold were complaining that the U.S. was not fighting a fair war. Their main complaint was that our military was using unmanned drones to attack hideouts and other suspected terrorist nests. They didn't seem to like the remotely driven little "bees" buzzing around their people with close to complete impunity.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, how is that for pure irony? The terrorists fight a war against civilians, they target non-military sites, they use women and children to carry their homicide bombs, they wear no country's uniform, and they fight a guerrilla war -not in jungles but in cities full of innocents. And the U.S. is unfairly using unmanned drones? I have no answer for that.
