Mechanized remote warfare has a video game vibe to it.... the lack of personal danger and the complete removal of humanity from the process give it the jocular vernacular of today's puerile gamers. The desire to connect humanity to the operators is a good one, but misguided. If you want to stop drone strikes, the following must take place:
1- US Political leadership must take a stand to stop the strikes.
2- Pakistan must take a stand to stop the cancer that has spread inside the NWFP and the Mohajir population.
If the Pakistani equivalent of Barney Fife starts arresting all the Al Quaeda and Taliban operatives inside their nation, the aid and comfort that Pakistan gives to Al Quaeda and the Taliban will drive them elsewhere.
