Drone Policy

Open Email to Congress:

Dear Representatives and Senators,
   The Washington Times says drones are now ubiquitous. Many countries have them and use them for surveillance. Only the US, Great Britain and Israel have used drones as an attack weapon with explosives. However, it is also obvious that many other countries will develop attack weapon procedures.
    We need an international policy on drones. It should be as follows:
        1. We should advise the United Nations that we will not tolerate drones in our airspace. As we discover them, we will shoot them down.
        2. We will use drones at our discretion to search for Terrorist Administration complexes, training camps, and storage facilities in any country where we suspect terrorist activity. In each case where we intend to enter another country's airspace with our drones, we will give the Country Administration prior warning that we are doing so with the intention of finding and eliminating terrorist facilities. In that notification, we will ask that the Country Administration remove the threat itself and that our drones will be used immediately only in a surveillance capacity to confirm that the terrorist threat has been eliminated. If the terrorist threat has not been eliminated in a reasonable time, say two weeks or a month, we would use attack drones at our discretion.
        3. This may lead to the foreign Country Administration, shooting down our surveillance or attack drones. We would not consider this an act of war, but would respond with insistence using more advanced technology or a greater quantity of drones to completely eliminate terrorist activity in that country.
        4. If the foreign Country Administration uses such a heavy response as to make impossible our project of eliminating terrorist activities, we would consider the foreign Country Administration as a protector of terrorist activities and an automatic act of war. Our reaction would be then to include destruction of the foreign Country Administration's facilities interfering with our drones.
     This may sound a little heavy-handed and one-sided, but so be it. We have the capability to do it and the need to protect our citizens from terrorist activities.
