If you seriously think that the US are the only people that police the globe you are sadly mistaken. Every single well developed country in the world spys on others and deals with major criminals in other countries other than their own. I think the only difference with the US is they seem to get caught doing such things more than most other countries.
Why am I back here, I don't even play these games anymore
The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.
I don't think anyone's bitching, but I'm sure some die-hard, misinformed, moron patriots on our soil are going to call it some kind of treasonous act against the sanctity of Our Great Empire that a drone (obviously one of many) was shot down in territory that has never really been friendly with us. It would make sense that we keep an eye on them then, considering we've been both bombing and pillaging the countries adjacent for... It's been over a decade now? Coupled with the fact that the last leaders of Iran have all been relatively luny and the thought of a possibly "unstable" country developing nuclear weapons... it would pay to have recon on them at least now and then.
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
If you wiki this particular drone then you will find that it does not have quite the cutting edge technology to really offer much as its engine has a short life span and it is made with situations like this in mind. I do consider it however, a botched operation on our(USA)'s end. Also, we do not have confirmation that they have indeed shot down this particular drone. Another thing to add is you are damn right for us to be curious as to whether Iran with an over zealous and ideologically driven hatred for the west and countries near, achieve nuclear capabilities. So you bleeding heart liberals can stuff your propaganda and rhetoric concerning all that is essentially just bashing for western civilization as you type away posts from the safety of a home and network provided by such in many cases.
As an american I am appalled that we are doing this. Probably scouting for a way to assassinate another countries leader.
I find it HILARIOUSLY ironic that you use an image of King Arthur from Excalibur as your avatar. A man who sent an army of knights on a crusade to find the Holy Grail of Christ. The movie culminating in a mass slaughter where he and his son kill each other.
Sir, I think you simultaneously trolled yourself and won the Internet. LOL @ joo.
They had every right to shoot it down. The US shouldn't act like they own everything or are the world police... spying with drones, really?
Stealth aitcraft? That must have been a bloody good shot!
I will sleep better at night knowing how many informed individuals there are on the internet as to the formalities of war declaration, espionage, and diplomacy. If you have not already awarded yourselves honorary doctorates of philosophy in International Politics and Diplomacy, please do so at my behest.
Appalled that we are curious about nuclear capabilities in the hands of religious nut-jobs? Yes, praise Allah or perhaps hijack religion more and pervert such to push specific political power that will continue to leave those countries under developed and blaming everyone else for their problems. Short of preventing nuclear holocaust at this point, I would indeed have left the middle east to rot and if we were there already subjecting countries to supposed democracy spreading I would of just taken their oil anyway. There is no reason to half ass things like we have been doing. Countries either develop towards democracy and a civilized society like Turkey or they continue to throw rocks at Israel I think the United States would of saved our debt if we didn't subsidize the United nations and host of other interests that just bring either war or humanitarian aid to other countries. We should worry about ourselves rather then building these quasi relations that are built under some secrecy without the broad public's knowledge.

Good one Iran, congratulations!
shoot down anything labeled US, maybe those pathetic warmongers will attack you, if they find balls, but i doubt it since China and Russia stand by your side, so weak provocations from jews are weak.
USrael is a bleeding wound on the east, it should be erased for common good.
Closed since people obviously cant read the mod warnings in the OP.
