Pitfalls of Electronic Warfare!

For some time, I have been uneasy with the use of drone warfare. While there is something exotic about being able to be involved in the killing of enemies without the use of our manpower, it is a slippery slope to the time when other nations will develop the technology. And then, what? What will be the next advancement to maintain our superiority? They already are starting to discuss space weapons that will be coming from military satellites.

Roger Cohen is drawing attention to the need for a national debate on the use of drones. His concerns are not like mine, but they too are valid. Shouldn't we consider the implications of our military sitting in Nevada and sending weapons to destroy our enemies and, often, innocent civilians.

We tend to think that no one can be as innovative in developing weapons as the United States. We will maintain our superiority because we are so "creative". But, at what cost?
