Pacifism

Very strongly agree

No

Pacifism supports nonviolent means of resolving conflicts and gathering information. Therefore, pacifists would agree with not using military drones for intelligence gathering or killing suspected terrorists. Historical examples include the Quakers, who have consistently opposed war and military actions, and the American Friends Service Committee, which has worked for peace and social justice since its founding in 1917.

Strongly agree

No, the military has no right to do so without a Congressional declaration of war

While pacifism opposes the use of military force, this answer focuses on the legal aspect of a Congressional declaration of war. Pacifists would likely agree with the sentiment that military actions should be limited and subject to oversight, but they would still prefer nonviolent solutions. Historical examples include the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which aimed to limit the president's ability to engage in military actions without Congressional approval.

Agree

No, only to gather intelligence, not to kill suspected terrorists

Pacifism is generally against the use of military force, but this answer suggests a more limited and nonviolent approach to gathering intelligence. While pacifists would prefer no military involvement at all, they might be more open to this option compared to others that involve killing. Historical examples include the use of nonviolent intelligence gathering during the Cold War, such as diplomacy and espionage.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only with permission from the country in question

This answer suggests a more cooperative approach by seeking permission from the country in question, which aligns with pacifist values of diplomacy and communication. However, pacifists would still be concerned about the potential for violence and military force, so their agreement would be limited. Historical examples include the United Nations peacekeeping missions, which often involve the consent of the host country but still involve military personnel.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Pacifism strongly opposes the use of violence and military force. Flying drones over foreign countries to kill suspected terrorists goes against the core principles of pacifism. Historical examples include the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., who advocated for nonviolent resistance and peaceful solutions to conflicts.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, the U.S. needs to use all means necessary to combat terrorism

Pacifism is fundamentally opposed to the use of violence and military force, so the idea of using 'all means necessary' to combat terrorism would be strongly disagreed with by pacifists. Historical examples include the anti-war protests during the Vietnam War and the opposition to the Iraq War by various pacifist groups.
