The Obama-Centric Universe

We have rules of war. Why on Earth do we need rules of drones? They are simply another weapon used in wars.

This is just ridiculous:

President Barack Obama, who vastly expanded U.S. drone strikes against terrorism suspects overseas under the cloak of secrecy, is now openly seeking to influence global guidelines for their use as China and other countries pursue their own drone programs.

What's the point? If using an artillery piece, or missile or aircraft to kill enemies is legal, it is no more or less legal to kill those enemies using drones.

And if we aren't using the drones consistent with the rules of war, isn't that really the big deal rather than the new weapon we are using?

Does this administration think everything about it and what it does is a new thing in the universe?
