What bothers me most about this is the cover up by the white house. This happened BEFORE the election, yet wasn't released until after. Shooting at an American plane in international waters is an act of war. Why hide this until after the election? What good does that do? It doesn't take a week to report this, so why did it take that long?
"Police protection" is an oxymoron. Gun laws are like masturbation, they both feel really good, but after you're done you realize you haven't accomplished anything."

It was an unarmed, unmanned drone..
An act of war? You want to start a shooting war over an unarmed, unmanned drone..
Whatever.

It's Iran. They'd have to kill a US diplomat or a US soldier directly, not even by proxy to start a war. It takes significant inertia to start a military action across a financially-bound globe.
