For example, I have real empathy for those who oppose drone programs, but I can't pretend that whatever happens in these completely chaotic, no holds barred, PRIVATE gun markets funded by the billions and billions and billions in gun profits is acceptable.

I honestly don't WANT to hold this position, but I cannot pretend that it's all okay no matter what happens as long as our government isn't involved.

Anti-drone positions would be more credible if they weren't also (probably) anti-U.N. reform positions and pro-assault weapons trafficking.
