“We’ve been talking about this for a good while, the immorality of drones, dropping bombs on innocent people. It’s been over 200 children so far. These are war crimes.” (Gavin) Princeton professor Cornel West says during the Smiley & West radio show. Drone strikes have been an area of controversy, but the topic is usually under the radar in the typical American’s life.
