Persuasive Essay On Drones

In this day and age technology is advancing at a rapid rate.

The government spend billions of pounds on research into weapons when we could be spending it on trying to improve lives, instead of destroying them.
One of the latest types of weapons being developed and used are armed drones. Drones can destroy targets while being controlled by someone far away in safety. Many innocent lives have been taken by these drones and many have been Injured. The American and British government are using these in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan.

A number of people see drone attacks as an act of terrorism and say they actually create more terrorists than they kill. 16 year old Matala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head by the Taliban for speaking out in support of education for girls said that “America should stop using drones because they are fuelling terrorism. Innocent victims are killed in these acts and they lead to resentment among the Pakistani people.”
