To the Editor: 

I am writing in horror. What is America coming to that we think we can shoot up people in Yemen with missiles fired by “predator drone airplanes”? What ever happened to international law? Is the American government now free to kill anyone who is opposed to the American way of life? Don’t people who are accused of a crime usually have a trial? Go to jail if guilty, set free if innocent? Since when have we felt that we can kill anyone we want? And the scary thing is that the current reporting of the incident is that this appears to be an OK way to behave. Heaven preserve us from ourselves, because certainly our own government is not going to. What are we teaching the younger generation?
