Institutionalizing “Secret” Drone Strikes<br />

Drone Attack Afghanistan<br />

There is perhaps no time in American history when our leaders have<br />

fought a war with so little support. More than 60 percent <strong>of</strong> Americans<br />

want out <strong>of</strong> Afghanistan. Even at <strong>the</strong> peak <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> anti-Vietnam-war<br />

movement, after a majority had turned against <strong>the</strong> war, <strong>the</strong>re were still a<br />

large number <strong>of</strong> citizens who believed in <strong>the</strong> war and its <strong>of</strong>ficial<br />

justifications. Today, as my colleague Robert Naiman <strong>of</strong> Just Foreign<br />

Policy notes, “Western leaders have largely given up trying to explain or<br />

justify why Western troops are still in Afghanistan and why <strong>the</strong>y are still<br />

killing and being killed.”
