In another discussion thread on RP, I commented on the lack of principles exhibited by Democrats. This is another example. Principles should guide policy, actions, and words. When a party has no principles, they are guided by political expediency as in the case one President is lauded for an action and another is exacerbated for doing the same thing.

I doubt that most of the left are having a problem with the legality of yesterday's drone strike, what I've heard are debates about the wisdom of that particular target.
As for me, undecided. We'll see how it goes. It's risky but there were risks to inaction too,

SSG Robert Mark Odom - This is one of those things where it is a tough call without the ability to understand the full range of impacts of action or inaction. For that, I'll give the POTUS the benefit of the doubt. A tough call and he made one.
Now he will of course get the credit or derision based on the impact of that call, but I'm not going to give him a hard time over making it on something as difficult as this.

LTC (Join to see) - I haven't seen any evidence of that being a widespread belief, certainly not war. What I see is them wanted us to be careful and treat them as the hostile adversary they are.
Perhaps if we look at what people who disagree with us actually believe instead of what we wish they would believe because it is easier to dismiss them that way, we would be better off as a nation.

Please define the difference between a lawful vs unlawful drone strike. Collateral damage can occur any time we kill an enemy in company with other people.
