It's OK for the US to kill people indiscriminately with drones, but not for others they don't like to do it in other ways.
The US's foreign policy has always been a disaster, ever since WW1, comes of being an insular country with no idea about the rest of the world. They support all sorts of horrible dictators (Tito, Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, etc etc) cos they keep a lid on tribal warfare then knock them off when it either doesn't suit or the guy turns on them.

Drones aren't indiscriminate.
They're quite highly targeted.

But so far unable to distinguish which side people are on.
Hence regularly killing innocents.

if a drone kills them they are automatically baddies. US foreign policy 101.

If they're not actually terrorists, they're probably harbouring terrorists.

The UK is no less guilty than the US for this sort of thing.
Also, it's nothing to do with being insular or having no idea about the rest of the world. They know precisely what they are doing.
