Current drone policies spread terror and fear in their wake, causing mass deaths of civilians… One example is that of March 17, 2011

On the morning...the right person.”

Nearly 50 innocent people were killed or injured in 1 drone attack – all to kill 4 members of the Taliban. This leaves innocents living in constant fear of the next strike

Some men who...in the strike.

The arbitrary lines drawn up by the US justifies any strike or casualty as a national security necessity – Just like the strike on March 11th where Malik Daud Khan and 41 other people were killed -  seeing them not as people but labeling them as expendable militants
Boyle ’13 (Michael J. Boyle is an assistant professor of political science at La Salle University, and former counterterrorism advisor for Obama. “The costs and consequences of drone warfare” http://www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/public/International20Affairs/2013/89_1/89_1Boyle.pdf)
One reason why...before killing them.

The dehumanization inherent in these killings allows for unlimited atrocities and outweighs nuclear war, genocide, and environmental collapse.

This means-ends dispute...most powerful weapon.

The constant of an invisible imminent threat means people will continue to die for US national security interests

According to the story...in collective suicide.

According to Franz...for four years.

This obsession with the survival of US citizens is never-ending and culminates in genocide, war, and the destruction of basic values

The value of survival...not doing so.

Justification of US action in the name of security manipulates us based on fear and makes violent state policies inevitable

The manipulation of...on both sides.

And, the field of terrorism studies is a sham—it is full of so-called experts who are actually pawns of the military industrial complex, blind to the political violence caused by the “solutions” they advocate
Akhtar 2013 (Aasim, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, “The Terrorism Industry” http://x.dawn.com/2013/04/26/the-terrorism-industry/ JK)
The mainstream discourse...the religious right.

Jalisa and I reject the use of drone strikes in every instance and the security mindset that normalizes it.

The 1ac criticism is a political course of action that defetishizes the system of security and unmasks the ideology behind drone strikes.

The only way we can position ourselves is as intellectuals. This is the only way there can be actual change.

ABSTRACT: This article...life sacred again.

Language is a form of transversal dissent. What we know and what we talk about is part of who we are and contributes to the culture that we live in. It is our choice of what kind of culture we shape with our discourse. The language that we use is not only a part of our culture but affects everything we do – on a local and global scale
Blieker 2k. Professor of Poly Sci and IR @ Univ of Queensland, 2000(Roland, “Popular Dissent, Human Agency, and Global Politics”)
Language is one...of tranversal dissent.
