It seems there is a lot of talk lately about drones.  What's the difference between using a drone to kill terrorists (or "terrorists" if that makes you feel better) and using an Apache or F15?
There isnt, which is to say neither are acceptable

If none of those are acceptable, how would you propose to deal with terrorists on foreign soil where we can't send in troops to capture or kill them?
Well i probably should have said that pragmatically yes drones are preferable, but as far as civilian casualties go there is largely no difference between the two.

Now as to what I propose? Absolutely nothing I dont personally believe in any sort of killing. Which is not to say I don't see the benefits of it, Its just that I oppose it on principle.
