Drone Warfare

The Whole World Opposes Drone Warfare … 

Except for the U.S. and Israel

And One Poor African Country

A new poll from Pew shows that majorities in every country polled oppose drones … except for Israel, the U.S. and Kenya: 

Why Kenya? 

Perhaps because drones have been successfully used to stop poaching of elephants and rhinos in their national parks: 

Kenya is to deploy drones in all of its 52 national parks and reserves in a bid to monitor and stop the poaching of elephants and rhinos. 

The move by the government follows a successful pilot project in major protected wildlife area, that saw drones reduce poaching by up to 96%. 

Americans are woefully ignorant about this issue … They still don’t realize that drone bombings create more terrorists than they kill. 

And as the Washington Post notes, Americans are stunningly apathetic: 

We’re not kidding. Americans really, really don’t care about foreign policy right now — especially when they don’t have to worry about losing American lives abroad.
