I think it's a bit of an overreaction, everyone knows they have nukes, yet they continue to deny it.

But I think that it's a justified act, it *could* have been a spy balloon... But for what purpose?

Maybe it was a " justified over-reaction " ?

exactly... they didn't have to shoot it down really, they could've taken it down with less violent (well yeah) but slower methods, such as adding additional wight from a helicopter.

actually no, I sorta think that this is important because it opens an interesting question: Why does Israel try to maintain secrecy over the locations of it's nuclear plants when almost everyone knows that they exist and where they are?

I don't think it's an overreaction.

Scenario: The USAF shoot down an unidentified object flying over one of it's military locations, is it justified? Of course, I'd expect our Air Force to shoot down something they suspect may be spying on us flying around a military location.

I agree that the phrase doesn't make sense, most stuff posted by H/J doesn't either though.

Somebody help me out here:
- Settle the overreaction / justification thing, aka pick a side?
- Are the Israelis allowed to publish "no-fly" zones over their own territory?
- Are the Israelis allowed to enforce no-fly zones?
- Is it smart to allow anyone around a nuclear facility or to fly over it?
- How is shooting a balloon news?
- How is this not a troll thread? Wouldn't you rather talk about the nukes and not a balloon?

I love Israel. They should blame Iran, declare that and act of war, and retaliate by blowing up their nuke sites.

I stood in line for four hours. They better give me a Wal-Mart gift card, or something. - Rodney Booker, Job Fair attendee.

Er, no I'm not from Connecticut. You really don't think Israel would love a good reason to attack Iran?

All I can say is don't buy ballons made in china, they pop right away and you kids start crying, In my opinion their over-reaction is justified.

Hey, she wanted a balloon and it just popped !

They probably would, but why would anyone WANT war unless absolutely necessary?

I'm glad the value I put on human life is funny then? Explain yourself man. I'm not a pacifist by any means, but I don't think we ought to start wars until we have truly exhausted all other options.

I don't answer to you. But, naivitey it what it is. Funny to me. I value my enemies' lives less then mine and my kind. You think that the head lopping fanatics over there want peace? You think Iran is going nuclear because they want peace? In the last 2000 years of recorded history over there, has there really ever been peace? How old are you?

*edit...

I kinda feel like I just kicked a puppy.
