Dear colleagues, See http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/aug/02/philosopher-moral-case-drones, and Strawser's response at http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/aug/06/morality-drone-warfare-r evisited?intcmp=239, in which he responds to some of the challenges I would have raised to the original article. I look forward to productive discussion, hopefully with some attention to historical context, Ted Schrecker "The noisier the carnival around elections, the less sure we are that democracy really exists" - Arundhati Roy
