I can't imagine living under that threat. I hate the Fleet Week that I must suffer here. It reminds me of what a fraction of life in Iraq/Afghanistan/Pakistan/Yemen would be like ... and it frightens me that that is the modus operandi of the USA. And drones can't be heard, seen, or noticed by eye. It is just a constant dread. And one must hope that one's parents, kids, kids' friends, family friends, coworkers, domestic workers ... that none of them are part of the "terrorists". Because we will kill of every one of them if anyone is even thought to be terrorists. And we will make a TV show cheering us on. It is a form of Orwellian control so dark and demented that no one wants to face it.
