After Obama killed a 16-year old American boy named Abdulrahman al-Awlaki in a drone strike, Trump has now killed his 8-year old sister, also an American, Nawar al-Awlaki in the botched Yemen raid, which killed 30 civilians.

Here's Abdulrahman al-Awlaki:

^except civilians aren't supposed to be treated indistinguishably from enemy militants, does no good to treat civilians populations as 'the enemy' best to make efforts to avoid civilian casualties.
