WaPo just doesn't get it.

America can’t lead the world in innovation if the FAA keeps dragging its feet on drone rules

Sorry WaPo but South Korea is the world's most innovative country, and the Korean's lead is very likely to widen. South Korea's patent activity is already second in the world(the US is fifth in this forward looking indicator), and as importantly South Korea is far more connected(per capita..amd it's fast) than the US.
