But is it actually easier? There's obviously less risk to us, but that seems like a good thing. If you're worried about a fair fight, send in troops with muzzle loaders and bayonets, Civil War style.I think that if we couldn't kill people this easily at basically no risk to ourselves we would sit down and really think about who actually needs killing instead of just randomly blasting groups of suspicious bearded people.

Also seems dumb to risk an American life to make it seem "more fair". It's the opposition's fault that they haven't progressed into the modern world, not that that is necessarily better or worse, just reality.
Someone needs to put together the "Drone Strike/No Strike Flow Chart" and be sure to include the beard/no beard, skin color, religion, geographical location, etc components. Might just solve this whole thing and put some of you guys at ease.
Yeah, I don't trust our killing decisions quite as much as you.

But I agree completely with your point here. Although it applies to both sides of the issue.
All of you, droning on and on and on here.
The only thing left to do at this juncture is exhume the body of Robert McNamara and employ a "Strategic Hamlet" initiative to win the "hearts and minds" of our "enemy".http://news.antiwar.com/2012/12/26/yemen-fears-backlash-as-drone-strike-victims-side-with-al-qaeda/ But then again, it's not really about "fightin terra" so much as it's about U.S. Hegemony.
Oh no, those people would have otherwise loved the US and been a huge asset. Crap, opportunity lost.
