The drone was only 4 miles out of Iran's terrirtoy (according to US claims which I don't beleive anyway),a country that has no relations with U.S and you always threaten to bomb it,so we did have a right not to allowing the drone hanging around near our borders.
One doesn't need to be genius to predict what would happen if one of Iran jets or Spy drones flied 4 miles off New York coast.
Well if it was 4 miles out then you would have shot it down with justification and not need to use that excuse oh we didn't want to shoot it down cause we give Americans excuse to go to war.
