    If this had been a drone strike on Iranian soil, or some neutral territory, I'd be FAR more concerned.

    The fact that this happened in a battle space where a recent attack on our US Embassy had happened is less concerning to me.

    Iran has been spreading terrorism all over the place... we've known this for quite some time.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Dear #Iran, The USA has disrespected your country, your flag, your people. 52% of us humbly apologize. We want peace with your nation. We are being held hostage by a terrorist regime. We do not know how to escape. Please do not kill us. #Soleimani

                Some people/countries only understand force. Negotiating is a sign of weakness with them. Allowing Iran backed rebels to attack our embassy without a response is the equivalent of a dog rolling over to expose his belly as a surrender. Hitting them back may incite retaliation but it still shows them we aren't going to sit back and just take it. The old axiom of how to you stop a bully...punch him in the nose...fight back. Iran is a bully, and has been for going on 40 years.

                  I doubt this is a precursor to World War III. What superpowers are expected to intervene on Iran's behalf? Probably not any, so this will be between the US and Iran, and Iran doesn't stand a chance against the US in open war.

                    You have to remember who you're debating here: a bunch of brain dead liberals who had no problem with our embassy being attacked and US citizens murdered while Obama gave a "stand down" order to the military and then went to bed early to be well rested for a swanky Las Vegas fundraiser the next day.

                      I don't see the point of this targeted strike by US troops. What is it supposed to achieve?
                      Possibly some retailtory assassination attempts.

                        And, again, this guy wasn't in Iraq to spread love. The very fact that he felt the freedom to come and go like that....

                              I will pay for a limo to drive you to your nearest recruitment office. I'll even pay for your lunch you lunch after. Heck, I'll even throw in a year of cigs on top.

                              Surely you will be first to the fight you so clearly desire.
