A wedding party was reportedly killed by a drone in Yemen. Blame Bush, Obama, both, whatever, but stop now?

There have been too many innocent deaths. Most of this has been in countries we are at peace with. Sure, quite a few really evil people have been taken out, but I don't think we can accept the random killings that come with it. Is there bipartisan agreement on this, at least outside the government?

Update:

I find some of these answers disturbing. If your daughter invites a friend to her wedding, and that friend (unknown to your daughter) is married to a terrorist and comes to the wedding, you would be OK with the entire wedding party getting bombed? Maybe they weren't even targeting the wedding party at all!

3 innocent people for every 100 suspected terrorists is acceptable??? That does not sound like an American position, it sounds like the position of a totalitarian government.

    No, if terrorists are at a party, they should not feel safe...But if there were no terrorists at that wedding, then I will apologize for the necessity of taking out some innocents to get the evil doers

    "Random killings" These targeted strikes are anything but random. People will learn that if they invite terrorist friends to their wedding, then it will be crashed
