Thats simple .. If iranian will shot them down, they can simply deny it.
So what can US do ? .. It can cry that Iranian army shot down their airplane, while it were voilaiting their airspace..... so what ... Iran will simply Deny it.... What will you do then ?
And even if they will accept it, nothing will happen.. just US will bash how deadly terrorist they are... and they will try to lift up some sanctions.
Its more that clear, that US doesnt have money or power to attack Iran, coz its not 3rd world country.
Actualy what about another 80$ bil. for Iraq and Afhanistan ? ... Did congress already approve it ? Us have so bad debts and economy is going down, that attack on non 3rd world country would damege US economy a lot more.
Specialy, when nobody in the world support this idea and its so clear whos agressive in this game.
But i agree that peace in the middle east will be greate tragedy for US military industry (whitch has no lobby in goverment and is absolutly w/o corruption.
Like when US gov. donate 400$ mil. to Israel and israel buy weapons from US companies worth 300$ mil. weak after

Im wondering if there is a tender for weapon deals.
IN NAME OF SECURITY.
amen
just IMO
