To my dismay, I find myself paraphrasing some of the pro-gun members when I say `drones don`t kill people..people kill people`

There's a couple of .gif websites that don`t link properly here too. I agree that dropping drones is quite illegal, and that Obama is 100% responsible, just like Bush was when he did it. Just like Nixon secretly bombing Cambodia. I like Canada a lot! I just don`t want it to be ruined by our idiotic politicians or naughty American Presidents...

You do know that the "A" in "ACLU" stands for "American", right? They don`t handle international cases.
