No, drones are not «more immoral» than other weapons, any more than a tractor is «more immoral» than a horse & plow. Both drones and tractors are Tools. They are neither moral or immoral.

The nations that use drones have more respect for life than the rogue nations and terrorist groups that use rockets and missiles, and pipe bombs and guns and knives...

:D
I know that technically drones in and of themselves are not more immoral..

But rather their potential or the ramifications could be.

Yep, you're right. You can also do a lot of damage to a couple of skyscrapers by flying airliners into them...that doesn't make Boeings immoral.

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

Almost anything an be made into a weapon.

The best weapon is the plough ie plow...

Without it, there would be very little food. Such a weapon is necessary for survival.

What is immoral is people and that is why it is necessary to have other weapons such as drones, tanks, implements of war, and to commute justice to serial killers per death penalty.

What is actually Immoral is Humanity... till Jesus returns and sets things right

How is a plough a weapon? It's secret is in it's non use or lack of ... no plow no crops... I think is what BW is saying.
many battles and more than a few wars have been won by attrition. Caesars Siege of Alesia there in GB is a prime example.

World hunger is another. WE have all the food in the world and yet 18,000 children die each and every day from starvation. We will come under judgement if we do nothing.
