You could argue for the right to defend yourself, but since we&#x27;re making a moral argument here, you should also make sure that your defense inflicts damage to those who are a danger to you, and not to innocent bystanders. Also a defense that <i>makes more enemies</i> is a pretty crappy defense, both from moral and practical point of view.<p>(Of course we&#x27;re skipping the part of the more likely real reason for drone strikes - more people pissed off == more terrorists == more need to defend == more money for military-industrial complex. You can play this game safely as long as your enemy isn&#x27;t very powerful.)
