I'll answer more fully later but in the meantime this stood out to me. The "precision" (lol) killing isn't an alternative to carpet bombing and invasion forces, it's an accompaniment. If anything the "precision" (rofl) killing is an alternative to the indefinite detention of alleged terrorists. And so being is by far the greater of two evils, especially as the "precision" (ffs) killing has claimed the innocent lives of at least 15 times the number of intended targets killed.
Otherwise, what you said leads me to believe we have more in common on this subject than I thought (possibly due to my scanning the thread rather than reading it properly?!).
This is interesting (not intended as a direct response to your points but on a similar subject):
