<p>A number of ideas have been put forward to mediate the amount of innocent victims. Technology philosopher Christine Boshuijzen cites technologically impaired military officials as a reason for civilian deaths. Doctoral student Dieuwertje Kuijpers calls for more democratic accountability for the CIA. Artificial intelligence professor Gustzi Eiben wants to improve drones’ face recognition and tracking software. Computer scientist Arnoud Visser claims the remedy is to fully automate the whole killing process by programming drones with algorithms governing the acceptable margins of error. These changes might very well reduce innocent deaths. Drone warfare would be far more efficient. But is efficiency really the goal?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>È capitato ultimamente che persone all’interno delle forze armate hanno parlato di una carenza di droni che avrebbe rallentato la guerra contro Isis. Questo dopo che il presidente Obama aveva detto che le restrizioni imposte alla guerra condotta con i droni per minimizzare le vittime civili non sarebbero state applicate in Siria e Iraq. Secondo gli analisti, se la carenza di droni costringerà gli Stati Uniti a mandare truppe in Siria e Iraq è facile immaginare che i morti faranno schizzare il reclutamento di Isis alle stelle.</p>
<p>La necessità di espandere la guerra con i droni potrebbe dar luogo a quelle innovazioni che gli specialisti invocano. Secondo loro, l’obiettivo sarebbe la riduzione delle vittime civili. Questo attenuerebbe la voglia di vendetta e rappresaglia.</p>
<p>L’obiettivo è nobile. La parola “nobile”, infatti, non potrebbe descrivere meglio la situazione. Nel 1139, papa Innocenzo II emise una bolla che vietava l’uso della balestra al fine di proteggere la nobiltà europea. A quei tempi, la funzione principale della nobiltà europea era di mettere una forza militare costosa e ben addestrata al servizio dei monarchi. La balestra era un’arma economica, facile da usare e molto potente. Con una settimana di addestramento, un semplice contadino poteva uccidere un cavaliere protetto da una pesante armatura. L’idea che un esercito di contadini potesse decimare forze ben più addestrate fu giudicata anti-cavalleresca. Il bando della balestra fu dunque, nel vero senso della parola, “nobile”.</p>
<p>Similmente, quando si trova davanti forze che adottano strategie e tattiche nuove e diverse dal solito, il potere è pronto a bollare il nemico come incivile. I gruppi di militanti, contadini nel vero senso della parola, non rispettano le teorie della guerra legittima, ritualizzata della Nato. La guerra con i droni è considerata una risposta civile che dà legittimità all’intervento americano banalizzando la natura orribile della guerra stessa. Il fatto, però, è che si continua a terrorizzare le popolazioni locali con attacchi indiscriminati. E il rimedio proposto non è la cessazione della guerra, cosa giudicata impensabile e sconveniente, ma il miglioramento della sua esecuzione.</p>
<p>Sono state fatte tante proposte per limitare le vittime innocenti. Christine Boshuijzen, filosofo che studia la tecnologia, cita le scarse conoscenze tecniche degli ufficiali come causa dei morti civili. Dieuwertje Kuijpers, studente di dottorato, chiede una maggiore responsabilità democratica per la Cia. Gustzi Eiben, che insegna intelligenza artificiale, vorrebbe migliorare i software di riconoscimento facciale e tracciatura dei droni. Arnoud Visser, informatico, pensa che il rimedio sarebbe l’automazione totale di tutto il processo di uccisione, ottenibile programmando i droni con algoritmi in grado di ridurre il margine di errore a livelli accettabili. Molto probabilmente, questi cambiamenti porterebbero ad una riduzione delle morti innocenti. La guerra con i droni sarebbe molto più efficiente. Ma è l’efficienza il vero obiettivo?</p>
<p>Pensate a quanto potrebbe crescere l’arroganza dei militari se avessero il drone perfetto. Con la possibilità di regolare minutamente le relazioni di potere regionali con attacchi di precisione, chiunque anche vagamente sospettato di intenzioni terroristiche potrebbe essere assassinato immediatamente con il tocco sterilizzante e civilizzante di un bottone. Uno sguardo vendicativo in direzione della bandiera a stelle e strisce e la possibile recluta terroristica verrebbe subito individuata e trattata come si deve. Gli algoritmi potrebbero anche decidere quali giovani sono maturi per il reclutamento tra i terroristi e ordinare la decimazione immediata di questi dati numerici.</p>
<p>In questa guerra dei droni, se si vuole andare nella direzione giusta, il prossimo passo è l’abolizione immediata. L’aristocrazia, le élite, combattono queste guerre a distanza contro piccoli gruppi di individui che collaborano tra loro formando reti che cambiano continuamente alleanze. Il campo d’azione di questi individui è la vendetta spicciola, la diatriba tribale, l’estremismo religioso e l’instabilità politica. La soluzione è ovviamente la fine dell’interventismo militare e l’abolizione dello stato bellico.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>US military insiders recently reported a shortage in drones has slowed the war against ISIS. This after President Obama stated that restrictions imposed on drone warfare to minimize civilian casualties will not be applied to the situation in Syria and Iraq. Analysts conclude that if the drone shortage forces the US to send troops to Syria and Iraq we can expect the death toll to climb and ISIS&#8217;s recruitment success to skyrocket. The call for an expansion in drone warfare capabilities might allow for the innovation specialists have called for. They state reduction in civilian deaths as their goal. This would lead to less local vengeance and retaliation.</p>
<p>Their goal is noble. In fact &#8220;noble&#8221; couldn&#8217;t be a more apt descriptor. In 1139 Pope Innocent II issued a bull forbidding the use of crossbows in order to protect the position of nobility in European society. The prime function of European nobility at that time was to supply royalty with expensive and well-trained soldiers. The crossbow was a cheap, easy to use, and powerful weapon. With a week&#8217;s training a mere peasant could kill a heavily armored knight. The idea of peasant armies decimating skilled forces was deemed void of chivalry. The crossbow&#8217;s ban was, literally, &#8220;noble.&#8221;</p>
<p>When faced with opponents adopting new and different strategies and tactics, the powers that be are quick to declare their opponents uncivilized. Militant groups, peasants in every sense of the word, don&#8217;t comply with NATO&#8217;s chivalrous, ritualized just-war theory. Drone warfare is seen as a civilized response which legitimatizes the US&#8217;s involvement by downplaying the horrible nature of war. Yet the terrorizing of local populations through indiscriminate drone strikes continues. The proposed remedy for this horror is not to cease war &#8212; that would be unthinkable and unprofitable &#8212; but merely to improve upon its execution.</p>
<p>A number of ideas have been put forward to mediate the amount of innocent victims. Technology philosopher Christine Boshuijzen cites technologically impaired military officials as a reason for civilian deaths. Doctoral student Dieuwertje Kuijpers calls for more democratic accountability for the CIA. Artificial intelligence professor Gustzi Eiben wants to improve drones&#8217; face recognition and tracking software. Computer scientist Arnoud Visser claims the remedy is to fully automate the whole killing process by programming drones with algorithms governing the acceptable margins of error. These changes might very well reduce innocent deaths. Drone warfare would be far more efficient. But is efficiency really the goal?</p>
<p>One can only begin to imagine how a perfect drone feeds the military&#8217;s hubris. With the imagined ability to micromanage regional power relations through precision strikes anyone even slightly suspected of terrorist aspirations could be assassinated quickly at the sterile and civilized push of a button. A vengeful glance in the direction of the star-spangled banner and subsequent terrorist recruitment would be easily spotted and dealt with too. Algorithms might even decide which youths are ripe for terrorist recruitment and allow for immediate decimation of these datapoints.</p>
<p>The correct next development in drone warfare is its immediate end. The aristocracy, the elites, are fighting long distance wars against small groups of individuals cooperating in networks of ever changing allegiances, petty vengeance, tribal grudges, religious extremism, and political instability. The clear solution is non-interventionism and abolition of the warfare state.</p>
