Iran Downing Airliner was no Mistake

Iran finally admitted to unintentionally shooting down a commercial airliner killing 176 persons. They said the action was mistake. A mistake is something that everyone moves on from without any consequences. This was no mistake for several reasons:

First, if someone gets behind the wheel of car inebriated and kills another person that action was intentional and the person is charged with manslaughter. Maybe the person did not intend to kill anyone and said it was a mistake, but there are consequences for such actions. The Iran situation was no different.

Second, if Iran was not a terror state and was instead a responsible government, the action would have never happened. If Iran was not holding American hostages, attacking Embassies, seizing boats, blowing up oil refineries, killing American soldiers, pursuing nuclear arms while declaring death to America and Israel, and other aggressive acts, all of this would have been avoided. Iran pushed the envelope and were finally punished by the United States by taking out their top General who carries out their acts of terror. Of course Iran could not let that act go and retaliated with a missile strike against American troops in Iraq. The Iranian's shot down a commercial jet fearing it was a U.S. warplane seeking retaliation.

Of course, liberals blame Trump. They blame Trump for everything that is bad. It is unfortunate that they cannot see the difference between a rogue nation supporting terrorism and another nation defending their citizens (the Constitution's meaning is to protect all citizens equally). By blaming Trump and not Iran, the Dems showed their true colors. I understand disliking Trump, but the man is not responsible for everything that is bad. Of course Trump would never be found guilty in a court of law and held responsible for another State's actions. Maybe these ignorant Dems should learn some basic law concepts.

Shooting down a commercial airliner is no different than any other action taken by Iran over the past 40 to 50 years. That is no mistake, it is just history repeating itself time and time again.
