Buckets of sunshine tend to cause as many problems as they solve in this day and age, one of the many reasons that only two have been dropped in anger.

Skybird has a point, the outrage and anger is exactly what IS wants from the west, it wants a war, it wants the US to bomb so it can encourage more young Muslims to join up to fight the Americans, and so on and so forth.
Still, not doing anything is not an option, so use of drones should be maximised, god help us if they actually manage to shoot down a US aircraft with a pilot in it, I think if I was the pilot I would not bother arming the ejector seat.
