USA and Obama's Drone Civilization

Barack Obama's Pentagon war machine killed 17 people going to a wedding in Yemen on December 12 -- illegal and cold-blooded murders where the killers were not even face to face with their victims. The United States of America can act with impunity and at will where it wants to unleash its Drone Civilization.
Lawless, hate-filled and dangerously armed, the USA has shown how it has no peers when when it comes to abusing power, authority and technology. Today it uses drone technology with total mindlessness, tomorrow it may use far more deadlier weapons and genocidal technologies. If the US doesn't believe in any restraint or limits on its power, what's there to stop them from causing havoc anywhere in the world?
The US wiped out two Japanese cities with nuclear weapons, it devastated Vietnam with illegal warfare, it caused mayhem in Iraq and conducted a long genocidal campaign of sanctions there, its foreign politics is geared towards resource loot, it uses its intelligence apparatus to undermine democratic governments around the world, and it partners with Israel to annihilate Palestinians.
Drone murders seem to be Obama's favorite instrument to extend US hegemonic power. People can be killed while going to weddings, in schools, in homes, in markets. No due process of law is allowed. Why do American officials not give details of their operations if these can be described as legitimate (even using a gangster's logic)? Unfortunately, the US (and its warlike friends) find it easy to violate sovereignty of others by bribing or threatening pissant leaders with undeveloped minds (especially Arab potentates).
We don't hear much discussion about these things in a big section of the media owned by crooks and run by rascals.
