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.

Where did you read up on the criteria used?

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

It's called the element of surprise. I think that's one reason why drone strikes are appealing to military operations. Also appealed to the 911 hijackers.

They are a failed system much like torture. It sounds appealing and would give results on paper but in reality they are the opposite of effective and cause more harm than good
