I do not blame Americans. If they can kill Talibans from the sky, why would anybody want to a fight a hand to hand combat with Taliban? Future wars will be fought with drones whether we like or not.

Kerry Says Drone Strikes in Pakistan Will End, Spokesperson Takes it Right Back
thecable.foreignpolicy.com
Secretary of State John Kerry declared in an interview with Pakistan TV Thursday that U.S. drone strikes in the country will soon come to an end . . .
<< In practice, the drone strike genie is refusing to be returned to the bottle, as evidenced by State's comment today that the United States would never "deprive" itself "of a tool to fight a threat if it arises." Compare that statement to Obama's May speech: "As our fight enters a new phase, America's legitimate claim of self-defense cannot be the end of the discussion. To say a military tactic is legal, or even effective, is not to say it is wise or moral in every instance. For the same human progress that gives us the technology to strike half a world away also demands the discipline to constrain that power -- or risk abusing it." >>
