Zero evidence has been presented that any of the nearly 100 people killed so far were smuggling drugs. Even if they were, smuggling drugs is not a capital offense and it doesn't give us the right to blow up random ships in international waters.

I'm all for it if the sadistic murder of survivors at sea creates more pressure on these assholes, but the first shots fired were murder. It's a distinction without a difference whether it was the first shots or second shots. It's all war crimes.
