I can think of two broader purposes for this evil technology. By massacring the innocent, more and more "terrorists" are created, which keeps the War on Terror going (see also: "War on Drugs"), as well as facilitating the ongoing take-down of the Constitution and Bill of Rights by the neo-con National Security State. And the Regime is thus testing and refining this particular technology...for future domestic use.

Mr. Obama’s statement released Saturday was aimed at calling for stronger action against Syria from the United Nations, and to let the “people” of Syria know that the U.S. is behind their calls for political reforms.

“I strongly condemn the Syrian government’s unspeakable assault against the people of Homs and I offer my deepest sympathy to those who have lost loved ones,” said Mr. Obama in the statement.  ”Assad must halt his campaign of killing and crimes against his own people now.  He must step aside and allow a democratic transition to proceed immediately.”

Obama: UN must take stand against Assad's 'relentless brutality' U.S. calls on Assad to step down from power as UN Security Council gathers to vote on Syria, despite Russia's objection; at least 200 people killed by Syrian forces on Saturday, activists say.

There are only two things US supremacist thugs and their military are good in:

1. Cowardly murdering innocent people in remote countries using UAVs remotely controlled from their thug bases.

2. "Raiding" the homes of small, innocent, defenseless girls in "allied" countries next to their thug bases, tieing them to the bed and raping them until their reproductive organs rupture and they bleed to death.

Both are acts of extreme cowardice, in the face of a real enemy that is only equipped with an AK they behave like runaway thugs even with all their high-tech junk.

Killer drones - very actual article:

Considering the Geneva Convention and its provisions of combat situations - rules of engagement, protection of civilians, etc., and what US/NATO have been doing since the WWII is absolutely disproportioned use of firepower over army personnel and civilians alike. Donning, in my perception, is sheer genocide in its purest form watched from one angle or another. All this foolish talks of some “smart bombs” is to fool the public; a bomb can’t possibly be that “smart” to distinguish between a soldier, civilian or child - is designed to accomplish maximum kill-damage effect and that is that. But droning is a genocide not only towards the civilians but also towards soldiers thus gives them no chance for somewhat proportional face-to-face combat. Therefore all this cannot possibly be categorised any other way but WAR CRIMES - and it doesn’t even quite fit into this definition thus so EVIL. Lets compare; the Nazi gassed prisoners in the gas-chambers, those warmongering “heroes” [actually cowards] doesn’t even bother build such but wiping out populations as if they were simply insects but human beings.
