Using Drones instead of foot Soldiers

I am at fault for not listing my sources(didnt really think about it at the time)... But being as this is my first debate ever i will learn from my mistakes as everyone does. 1)In my previous statements I had never said an american life is more important than any other races life, America is made up of many different races even from the countrys we are at war with. The entire planet will be taken care of as time progresses on. Yes, an entrance to a lair can be concealed, but if the drone has been deployed that must mean that the coordinates of the lair have been discovered in which case the entrance to the lair would be destroyed. As for civilians being bombed, the insurgents bomb their own people when they are attacking our units in their cities, so Al Qaeda should be making their own people hate them. Back tracking a bit, heres a quote referring to Larz's first statment "God help me if New Zealand is caught in the crossfire! Actually lives will be lost, whether it be in the aggressor's country or the defender's." I might be mistaken but it sounds like he thinks that New Zealand's people are more important than anyone elses. 2)A Jihad may be the ultimate bravery in their country, but to others points of view it is cowardly for 1, you cannot say it is brave to destroy part of a building or blow up cars by suprise, it would be brave to show that you arent being secretive, and if they know they are going to die why cover the bombs up? Afghanistan and Iraq are not even members of NATO, yes NATO has a army there, but they are neither members or partners of NATO. NATO has over 28 member countries, they might lose a army, but they have many more to take its place. Here is a quote stating they have the ability to do so " If diplomatic efforts fail, it has the military capacity needed to undertake crisis operations. These are carried out under article 5 of the Washington Treaty and/or under a UN mandate, alone or in cooperation with other countries and international organizations.". If we conquer all Al Qaeda territorys we would have taken down it's world network, since Al Qaeda IS a worldwide network. His quote you have provided shows that he is a coward, by hiding amongst his own people as he sits back and continues his role as their puppet master. the quote can be found in the second page of this site http://www.nato.int... Article 5 can be found here http://www.nato.int... 3)The war that is happening right now was is no way preventable. Bin Laden himself declared war on the americans who were based in Saudi Arabia, the holy land of Islam. When infact we were given PERMISSION to base there by the Saudi Arabian government. We did not declare war on him, he had his own people take over planes in OUR nation and destroyed the Twin Towers, crashed into the Pentagon, and tried to destroy our capital. As for us not being able to declare war on another country, WE have every right to declare war on someone if they attack us first, which we did not attack neither of the countrys we are at war with first. Osama's Fatwa(Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places)http://www.pbs.org... 4)The difference is that their suicide bombers know who is a civilian and who is a soldier and yet they dont think twice about killing their own people to get rid of a few soldiers, while drones aim to take out the enemy, they do NOT purposefully kill innocent civilians especially their own people. So as for prosecutions, lets back track to Vietnam. Manned aircrafts had to level entire citys, civilians and all, are you saying that those patriots should have all been imprisoned for doing what was neccesary to win? Ask any soldier whether they would live or die and what do you think they would say? Everyone strives to live and will everything in their power to live. If the innocents in far away lands wished for peace they would allow us to do whatever is neccesary to win, so they can have a rightous and just government. As for every U.S campaign deaths I believe more people died in vietnam in one day than the whole iraq war. Drones may fail, crash and misidentify targets, but they do not purposfully kill their own innocents to get their target, unlike the Al Qaeda and Taliban forces, and it is impossible for drones to recruit terrorists as they arent people. The United States arent cowardice for using a different tactic than most other countries.
