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，如空中攻擊，並不總是由無人駕駛飛機，當然，創造了ticklish兩難為卡爾扎伊政府，因為它自己裝扮成為真正的政府，而不是美國的傀儡，它實際上是官方的抗議，已成為越來越強烈，雖然我所看到的，沒有證據表明，美軍打算改變其運作的回應。 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.是什麼可怕的權力，總統和，與他的授權，其下屬人員具備：他們可以殺死人的意願，包括那些人的妻子和子女，無風險，無論接收返回火災或其他報復。 Surely this is the long-sought culmination of the Republican’s quest to establish ”law and order.”這肯定是長期尋求的高潮共和黨的追求建立“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.是什麼使我的話就這件事，不過，不是它的技術螺帽和螺栓，或其涉嫌與主傀儡關係在西南亞地區，而是完整的insouciance與美國公眾電賀報告的死亡是由無人駕駛飛機。 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.我不誇大，如果我說的是，一般的反應是： “浩，舂坎” 。那麼，美國人的平均說，作主很好的另一“壞人”無償謀殺案的壞人的家庭成員，鄰居，其他無辜者在現場附近出現，創造沒有位置亮點，對美國人的平均的道德雷達屏幕上。 Perhaps Americans do not consider Yemenis, Afghanis, and Pakistanis to be real human beings whose right to life we are obliged to respect?也許美國人不考慮也門人，阿富汗尼，和巴基斯坦是真正的人類，其生命權，我們有義務尊重？ 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?是死亡的無人駕駛飛機只是在另一個場合，當總統後，標示了一套行動，作為一個“戰爭” ，認為和作為，儘管他單全權拋出死亡和毀滅的威利nilly ？ Of course, reports of drone attacks usually refer to militants, Taliban forces, or al Qaeda members.當然，報告無人駕駛的攻擊，通常是指武裝分子，塔利班部隊，或蓋達組織的成員。 To this information, we might well respond: yeah, who says?以這方面的資料，我們很可能會作出回應：是啊，說誰呢？ 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.如果我們的內容，假定美國的情報人員，誰幾乎總是得到他們的資料，從合作者在目標地區，真正了解他們的目標是，那麼我們當然很容易感到滿意。 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.一沒有作出了廣泛的調查，美國政府聲稱，關於伊拉克，阿富汗，巴基斯坦和其他地方在西南亞地區在過去七年地看到，對於大多數的一部分，美國指揮官，由指揮官在行政上下降到該sweatiest士官在巡邏時，不是更多或更少不懂或最大的說謊者於這個星球。 I do not rule out that they are both.我不排除他們都是。 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.其結果，就是人們誰合作，在去該點即有人把按鈕來傳送海爾對選定的目標可能會其實並沒有確實知道他們是有關殺人，或有多少其他人將被殺死，隨著這表面上的“敵人”或誰那些其他人。 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?沒有發射成為一個龐大的地緣政治的調查，我們可能會暫停從不時要問，什麼是美軍這樣做在阿富汗和巴基斯坦，無論如何？ 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).當然，他們不是有捕獲或殺死的負責人的罪行9 / 11 ，因為他們已經證明毫無疑問，他們是不能這樣做（如拉登的影片，定期提醒我們） 。 They are, however, all too capable of diverting their energies from that objective toward unrelated goals, such as attacking and occupying Iraq.但是，它們都太有能力轉移他們的精力從這一目標，對無關的目標，如攻擊和佔領伊拉克。 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.我們美國人發現自己，然後，觀察與極端的道德脫離接觸，作為總統和他的下屬謀殺者的身份仍然不明朗，隨著各式他人，其唯一的罪行是在同一地區，作為針對個人-畢竟，海爾，這使得一個很大的爆炸，幾乎可以被描述為一種外科手術的確切死亡的文書。 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，總統的利用這個遠程控制-執行裝置，顯然已沒有地域限制，因為，正如他向我們保證， “反恐戰爭”已經沒有。 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，污垢道在瓦濟里斯坦;明天， Santa Monica的高速公路，這將是有趣的看到，當無人駕駛的攻擊進行了在這個國家，無論是美國公眾提供了可惡。 Robert Higgs [羅伯特希格斯[ send him mail給他郵件 ] is senior fellow in political economy at the ]是高級研究員，在政治經濟在 Independent Institute獨立學院 and editor of編輯 The Independent Review獨立審查 . 。 He is also a columnist for LewRockwell.com.他也是一位專欄作家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：恐懼，意識形態和增長的政府 . 。 He is also the author of他亦是作者 Depression, War, and Cold War: Studies in Political Economy抑鬱症，戰爭與冷戰：研究在政治經濟 , ， Resurgence of the Warfare State: The Crisis Since 9/11死灰復燃的戰爭國家：危機自從9 / 11 and和 Against Leviathan: Government Power and a Free Society對利維坦：政府的權力和一個自由的社會， . 。 Have Your Say: So, the President May Kill Anybody He Pleases, Right? 你說：那麼，總統可能會殺死任何人，他隨心所欲，對不對？ Please read our請閱讀我們的 posting guidelines before posting發布指引，然後再發布 . 。 Alternatively或者 you can discuss this report here您可以討論此報告在這裡 . 。 Related News 相關新聞
