When I started reading the article I thought I'd post here something about how it might seem effective and useful to Americans until other countries start using them against us.
Then I saw our government is already using them against us. This is sad.
Renoir's 1937 film La Grande Illusion, beautifully illustrated how those on the other side of battle lines often have more in common with you than you think and those on the same side may not share your interests.
I have no problem with the average Joe on the street in the middle east, yet he is being harmed with my tax money. I have a big problem with someone spying on a peaceful protest near my home.
EDIT: resolved ambiguity someone responded to. I have no problem with the average Joe. I do have a problem with him being harmed with my tax money. Sorry for any confusion.

Really? It's quite amazing to be able to say this after having said that "those on the other side of battle lines often have more in common with you than you think".
How do you think "the average Joe on the street in the middle east" feels about having an unmanned plane over his head? How do you think his children feel when they see him being killed by such a machine? They swear they will seek vengeance.
Then I saw our government is already using them against us. This is sad.
