Official protests have become increasingly vociferous, though I have seen no evidence that the US forces intend to change their operations in response.在阿富汗，如空中攻击，并不总是由无人驾驶飞机，当然，创造了ticklish两难为卡尔扎伊政府，因为它自己装扮成为真正的政府，而不是美国的傀儡，它实际上是官方的抗议，已成为越来越强烈，虽然我所看到的，没有证据表明，美军打算改变其运作的回应。 What an awesome power the president and, with his authorization, his subordinate officers possess: they can kill people at will, including those persons’ wives and children, with no risk whatever of receiving return fire or other retribution.是什么可怕的权力，总统和，与他的授权，其下属人员具备：他们可以杀死人的意愿，包括那些人的妻子和子女，无风险，无论接收返回火灾或其他报复。 Surely this is the long-sought culmination of the Republican’s quest to establish ”law and order.”这肯定是长期寻求的高潮共和党的追求建立“法律和秩序” 。 What leads me to remark on this matter, however, is not its technological nuts and bolts or its connection with master-puppet relations in southwest Asia, but rather the complete insouciance with which the American public greets reports of deaths by drone.是什么使我的话就这件事，不过，不是它的技术螺帽和螺栓，或其涉嫌与主傀儡关系在西南亚地区，而是完整的insouciance与美国公众电贺报告的死亡是由无人驾驶飞机。 I do not exaggerate if I say that the general reaction is “ho-hum.” Well, the average American says, that disposes nicely of another “bad guy.” The gratuitous murder of the bad guy’s family members, neighbors, and other innocent persons in the vicinity appears to create no blip on the average American’s moral radar screen.我不夸大，如果我说的是，一般的反应是： “浩，舂坎” 。那么，美国人的平均说，作主很好的另一“坏人”无偿谋杀案的坏人的家庭成员，邻居，其他无辜者在现场附近出现，创造没有位置亮点，对美国人的平均的道德雷达屏幕上。 Perhaps Americans do not consider Yemenis, Afghanis, and Pakistanis to be real human beings whose right to life we are obliged to respect?也许美国人不考虑也门人，阿富汗尼，和巴基斯坦是真正的人类，其生命权，我们有义务尊重？ Is death by drone simply another occasion when the president, having labeled a set of actions as a “war,” believes and acts as though he has carte blanche to dish out death and destruction willy nilly?是死亡的无人驾驶飞机只是在另一个场合，当总统后，标示了一套行动，作为一个“战争” ，认为和作为，尽管他单全权抛出死亡和毁灭的威利nilly ？ Of course, reports of drone attacks usually refer to militants, Taliban forces, or al Qaeda members.当然，报告无人驾驶的攻击，通常是指武装分子，塔利班部队，或盖达组织的成员。 To this information, we might well respond: yeah, who says?以这方面的资料，我们很可能会作出回应：是啊，说谁呢？ If we are content to assume that US intelligence agents, who nearly always get their information from collaborators in the target territories, really know whom they are targeting, then we are certainly easily satisfied.如果我们的内容，假定美国的情报人员，谁几乎总是得到他们的资料，从合作者在目标地区，真正了解他们的目标是，那么我们当然很容易感到满意。 One does not have to make an extensive survey of US government claims about Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other places in southwest Asia over the past seven years to see that for the most part the US commanders, from the Commander in Chief on down to the sweatiest noncom on patrol, are either more or less clueless or the biggest liars on the planet.一没有作出了广泛的调查，美国政府声称，关于伊拉克，阿富汗，巴基斯坦和其他地方在西南亚地区在过去七年地看到，对于大多数的一部分，美国指挥官，由指挥官在行政上下降到该sweatiest士官在巡逻时，不是更多或更少不懂或最大的说谎者于这个星球。 I do not rule out that they are both.我不排除他们都是。 The upshot is that the people who cooperate in getting to the point at which someone pushes the button to send the Hellfire toward its selected target may in fact not know for sure whom they are about the kill, or how many others will be killed along with this ostensible ”enemy” or who those others are.其结果，就是人们谁合作，在去该点即有人把按钮来传送海尔对选定的目标可能会其实并没有确实知道他们是有关杀人，或有多少其他人将被杀死，随着这表面上的“敌人”或谁那些其他人。 Without launching into a massive geopolitical inquiry, we might well pause from time to time to ask, What are US forces doing in Afghanistan and Pakistan anyhow?没有发射成为一个庞大的地缘政治的调查，我们可能会暂停从不时要问，什么是美军这样做在阿富汗和巴基斯坦，无论如何？ Surely they are not there to capture or kill the persons responsible for the crimes of 9/11, because they have already proved beyond all doubt that they are incapable of doing so (as Osama bin Laden’s videos periodically remind us).当然，他们不是有捕获或杀死的负责人的罪行9 / 11 ，因为他们已经证明毫无疑问，他们是不能这样做（如拉登的影片，定期提醒我们） 。 They are, however, all too capable of diverting their energies from that objective toward unrelated goals, such as attacking and occupying Iraq.但是，它们都太有能力转移他们的精力从这一目标，对无关的目标，如攻击和占领伊拉克。 We Americans find ourselves, then, observing with extreme moral disengagement as the president and his subordinates murder persons whose identities remain uncertain along with assorted others whose only crime is being in the same area as the targeted individuals – after all, the Hellfire, which makes a very big blast, can scarcely be described as a surgically precise killing instrument.我们美国人发现自己，然后，观察与极端的道德脱离接触，作为总统和他的下属谋杀者的身份仍然不明朗，随着各式他人，其唯一的罪行是在同一地区，作为针对个人-毕竟，海尔，这使得一个很大的爆炸，几乎可以被描述为一种外科手术的确切死亡的文书。 Moreover, the president’s use of this remote-control-execution device apparently has no geographical limits, because, as he assures us, the “war on terror” has none.此外，总统的利用这个远程控制-执行装置，显然已没有地域限制，因为，正如他向我们保证， “反恐战争”已经没有。 Today, a dirt road in Waziristan; tomorrow, the Santa Monica Freeway. It will be interesting to see, when drone attacks are carried out in this country, whether the American public gives a damn.今天，污垢道在瓦济里斯坦;明天， Santa Monica的高速公路，这将是有趣的看到，当无人驾驶的攻击进行了在这个国家，无论是美国公众提供了可恶。 Robert Higgs [罗伯特希格斯[ send him mail给他邮件 ] is senior fellow in political economy at the ]是高级研究员，在政治经济在 Independent Institute独立学院 and editor of编辑 The Independent Review独立审查 . 。 He is also a columnist for LewRockwell.com.他也是一位专栏作家lewrockwell.com 。 His most recent book is他的最新著作是 Neither Liberty Nor Safety: Fear, Ideology, and the Growth of Government既不自由也不安全：恐惧，意识形态和增长的政府 . 。 He is also the author of他亦是作者 Depression, War, and Cold War: Studies in Political Economy抑郁症，战争与冷战：研究在政治经济 , ， Resurgence of the Warfare State: The Crisis Since 9/11死灰复燃的战争国家：危机自从9 / 11 and和 Against Leviathan: Government Power and a Free Society对利维坦：政府的权力和一个自由的社会， . 。 Have Your Say: So, the President May Kill Anybody He Pleases, Right? 你说：那么，总统可能会杀死任何人，他随心所欲，对不对？ Please read our请阅读我们的 posting guidelines before posting发布指引，然后再发布 . 。 Alternatively或者 you can discuss this report here您可以讨论此报告在这里 . 。 Related News 相关新闻
