Thus Bill and I advocate for critical scholarly analysis of the presidential targeted killing program and the targeted killing presidential war power.

Scholarly analysis of the United States imperialist and orientalist practices as they relate to macro level politics is key to interrogate the origins imperialism and the security agenda within the political and education realm and separate ourselves from them
