Joshua Foust, a fellow at The American Security Project (a non-profit, bipartisan public policy group), has written in The Atlantic magazine: ”The problem with the drones policy isn’t that drones themselves are bad, but that they are happening without broader political, social and even economic policies that could mitigate their pernicious consequences.

”As one example, drones carry inherent political costs to the regime that allows them. Among domestic populations, drones are almost always unpopular, as they represent a distant and unaccountable foreign power exercising the right to kill them at will.”
