Drones: Weapons of Indiscriminate Destruction
2/15/2013 6:13:08 AM


Drones, my father, a part-time beekeeper, told me three-quarters of a century ago, are male bees that fertilize eggs of queen bees. In the last decade I have learned that drones are unmanned aerial "weapons of indiscriminate destruction." What irony, the drones my father introduced me to help produce life and WID drones are used to kill people.

The United States has launched drones from secret bases in Yemen, Pakistan and elsewhere. These people did not have trial and America is not in a declared war.

Recently, Michael McGinn, Mayor of Seattle, following protests by citizens, ordered the city's police department to abandon plan to use drones that had been paid for by a grant from the federal government.

On Feb. 4, 2013, Satyendra Singh Huja, Mayor of Charlottesville, VA. led a majority of the members of the City Council in passing a resolution written by Activist David Swanson and the Rutherford Institute imposing a moratorium on the use of drones in the city and a ban on using evidence collected with spy drones in criminal trials. Charlottesville has become the first city in the United States to ban using drones. In my communication to Mayor Huja I commended members of the city council for having the moral courage to pass this resolution.

Retribution will come to America if she continues to use drones. It is only a matter of time before some other countries will develop drones and use them to kill people in American cities. This is not the legacy to leave for future generations. Like the legacy of slavery the legacy of WID drones can be costly.

I join members of the Charlottesville City Council and many other Virginians and people across America to oppose using drones and call on President Barack Obama to "cease and desist" using drones to kill people in other countries and spy on Americans in America. Using drone for such purposes is no less inhumane than torture. And besides, using drones to kill and spy on people is illegal and immoral.
