I can say definitively that if my family and friends had been killed by US drones, I’d be doing everything in my fucking power to come kill as many Americans as I could any way that I could manage it.

The next great terrorist attack on the US, and there will be one, will be done by someone outraged by the wanton murder of the drone program.

Does anyone really expect anything else? Does anyone think that the drone killings in any way make the world better?

And do you really think there is no one like me in all of Pakistan, Yemen or Afghanistan? Unlikely. Highly unlikely.

One of my most hated activities — if not my most hated — is mowing grass and tending yards.

I’ve decided after our current lease is up, I will never do it again. If I have a yard, I will always pay someone to tend it.

The cost — whatever it may be — is worth it so I don’t have to do it.
