A known terrorist, knows he is on the US hit list.
Well, I guess these kids eventually found out they were on a hit list.
Travels with his family. They are all killed in a drone attack.
This one was travelling with a childhood buddy.
Who is responsible for the deaths of his family.
The dude who directed to drone to fire. The terrorist would simply be increasing the risks of the family.

The person pulling the trigger. The person doing the killing. What is so hard to understand here? A person is responsible for their own actions.

People state they (terrorist)are soldiers and to be accorded the same rights as a prisoner of war under the Geneva Convention.

They call it collateral damage. This is the new war that is going on.

Do I like it?
Does it work?
Does it cause more problems then are supposedly solved?

Yes and no to all 3 questions but it is the new war. Just sayin is all.
