On the Morality of Drone Warfare

Is drone war moral?

Here's a salon.com piece on the question of America's use of drones overseas.  I'm again struck by how easily so-called experts justify drones in the hills of Afghanistan; what would the same experts say if drone technicians in Pakistan were using these things to bomb 'targets' in Virginia?  It seems like insanity to me--21st century insanity.  And a surefire road to madness.
