"Dude sucking at something is the first step to becoming sorta good at something - Jake the dog" However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them? Buddha "I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any Church that I know of. My own mind is my own Church. Each of those churches accuse the other of unbelief; and for my own part, I disbelieve them all."- Thomas Paine My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

Happened in international airspace, but 2 days ago (day of the election). Looks like the Iranians were trying to provoke an incident on election day and we held back from returning fire even though this supposedly happened in international air space. Edit - whoops, looks like it happened before the election. Perhaps we didn't respond b/c of the sensitivity of the Iranian foreign policy issue that close to our general elections?

This does not bode well me thinks. |

Isn't this an act of war? But then blockades, assassinations, and sabotage are also considered to be acts of war... Hasn't that been our policy towards Iran for awhile now? Nevermind |

They say East of Kuwait.... Exactly how far East of Kuwait I wonder. You have about 200 miles of saltwater, then you hit the Iranian coast. Not a whole lot of international airspace in the area and only one reason to have a drone in the air. |
