I think even that's a step too narrow. Without taking the time to crunch the numbers, I'm pretty sure that a clear majority of US executions are now carried out extrajudicially against residents of other countries. What differentiates (potential) left politics in the US from, say, Pakistan, is that a Pakistani has a clear, legitimate interest in American policy that Carroll or I simply do not have in Pakistan's. Ours is a damn empire, after all.
As horrific as Obama's drone assassination of a 16-year-old US citizen ( http://wapo.st/R5p7eo) was, I do not think we should accept any politics depicting as more horrific than his similar murders of thousands of non-US citizens.
