Janice,

Thank you for that quote from "Drone Theory".

I’ve long thought there is something in the West’s (and specifically, in America’s) methods of combat in the Middle East, something having to do with disparity in power and recklessness in its use, that creates a hydra of our ‘enemy’, engendering multiple heads for every one that we cut off.

(This leaves aside the question of why we have been cutting off heads in the Middle East for most of my adult life -- a question that I, as an American, find impossible to answer without feelings of impotence, shame and disgust.)
