[Peace-discuss] drones and the human cost of war

> That's rather like asking if poison gas (in WWI) and Einsatzgruppen (in WWII) decreased the human cost of war (for Germans).

We saw a rather interesting astronomy film about Einstein in Germany
and another physicist in England as they collaborated on some
questions about gravity ... anyway, there is this fantastic scene
where a bunch of professors in Germany are observing the use of gas on
a container of pigeons. They are all commenting about how the use of
gas will save German lives. Einstein walks in and begins yelling,
"Have you all gone insane?"

because I can never remember the exact quote from a movie)
