I agree with calling it off and the military people that signed off on the strike are under suspicion as far as I am concerned. Shooting down a piece of unmanned surveillance equipment sounds reasonable to me if I am an Iranian. Killing 150 civilians in response sounds murderous by any measure.

Cyber attack on Iran in response sounds reasonable. Sanctions until Iran’s government is pushed out by its citizens also reasonable. Problem is the replacement government might be worse. These things are always a gamble.

You two have apparently completely forgotten Iran's role in the Khobar Towers attack, the Marine Barracks in Lebanon, the US Embassy attacks in Africa and many, many other acts of terrorism and aggression around the world.

You for letting them continue this - with nukes in the near future?

They would have targeted military/IRGC installations. That’s who would have been killed, not civilians.

I agree. Now it that had been a U-2...
