In spite of the fact that the United States faces no enemy anywhere in the world capable of opposing it on a battlefield, the Defense budget for 2011 will go up 7.1 percent from current levels. A lot of the new spending will be on drones, America’s latest contribution to western civilization, capable of surveilling large areas on the ground and delivering death from the skies. It is a peculiarly American vision of warfare, with a ‘pilot’ sitting at a desk half a world away and pressing a button that can kill a target far below. … Washington’s embrace of drones as the weapon of choice for international assassination is one major reason why the United States has become the evil empire...

And if you emigrated here, you learned it, either to fit in or before you tried to become an American citizen. But have you ever learned about the Pledge of Allegiance itself, and stopped repeating it by rote long enough to think about what you are pledging?

What Makes America Strong?
Winslow Myers, Truthout: "An unmanned drone hovers over the house of a suspected leader of a terrorist cell, the craft's camera and missiles controlled by a soldier thousands of miles away on the plains of Kansas. A missile is launched, and the terrorist is blown apart - but so are innocent bystanders, among them a dark-eyed eight-year-old girl named Aeisha who dreamed of becoming a doctor."
