Joe Scarborough has a point, and Joe Klein is kind of whistling past the graveyard with his four year-olds comment. Let's be clear. The only reason the United States hasn't been hit since 9/11 is because terrorists aren't trying to hit us. We all focus on big ticket attacks like occurred with the WTC attacks, but there has been tremendous loss of life across the middle east via small market terrorism that only takes an individual willing to commit the heinous act and sacrifice their life in the process. Let's be perfectly clear, every drone attack has the potential to create a future assassin of Americans at home or abroad. There is nothing to prevent terrorists from sneaking into our country via our northern or southern border. There is nothing to prevent them, once here, to aggregate the materials they need to create mayhem.
So, I would say, there is a time bomb ticking amongst the collateral damage of drone strikes, and the sad thing is I'm 100% certain they weren't our enemies to start with.
