Oh my damn effing goodness. USA has killed far more innocents in drone strikes than militants. Drone strikes are some of the most inefficient ways to kill targets and anyone with a bear in their 20s to 30s and of a certain height are targets. I could be killed by a damn drone strike. There has been research conducted on how inefficient it is and what the criteria for a strike is.

How does one distinguish between militant and civilian? It's not like militants always wear an official uniform. If I were a militant, I'd make sure not to wear a uniform so that I could blend in with the general public and make the opposition's job harder.

And breaking international law is not excusable in any way. There are terrorists in India UK and France and Europe and USA as well do you want drones in Europe and USA as well. The reason there are terrorists in Pakistan is because its so damn close to Afghanistan just like cartels are in America because its so close to Mexico. That does not give the USA any right to fire unsanctioned stupid inefficient innocent murdering drone strikes. We have one of the worlds best armies we can take care of ourselves these stupid drones have killed more innocents anyway. And USA has burned villages in Adghansi knowing full well that innocents are in those villages. There is nothing unintentional about the innocents it kills. You will have an excuse ready for every situation won't you. Even if that excuse is stupid and weak you'll still say something wrong just to try to justify the murders the USA has commuted. The US technically is a war criminal as well as an international criminal but like I said technicalities don't matter when you have the world's greatest army

As powerful as your army is, someone as notorious as Bin Laden has been able to take refuge across international lines. Bin Laden, someone who has INTENTIONALLY targeted innocents. There's been plenty of innocent deaths from all sides but not all sides target them intentionally.

Here's an interesting idea: you make sure through intelligence that the person you are targeting is a terrorist or better yet instead of drone striking random targets based on shaky intelligence cooperate with the local military who fights these terrorists everyday to investigate and deal with them since breaking international law should not be something you just shrug off. You don't just take to the skies to see if you can find yourself a 30 something male with a beard cause that is the literal(actual) criteria which they use to target individuals. Can you imagine if that was in America and it was a 30 something white male with no beard. How many innocents would that kill. Also use ways that are not as inefficient as a blind guy without any skills throwing dart. You do realise that USA made Osama Bin Ladin who he was. He was an american agent gone rogue and on that subject, if the Pakistani government did not know about the ladin but you also let terrorists hijack planes from the Pentagon. Do all sorts of crazy shit in your own airspace and could do nothing as they attacked the pentagon and the twin towers. If you claim that the Pakistani government willfully did nothing to stop Bin Ladin then I can just as easily claim USA did nothing to stop 9/11 and might have even facilitated it
