In a week when the usual suspects have been howling for a “disproportionate response” to the downing
of a U.S. navy spy drone, it’s refreshing to find a commentator who prefers violent
provocations be met with no response at all.
Don’t worry, this is not about the Strait of Hormuz or what constitutes Iranian airspace. The
provocation is storyline-only, and the response to it is disproportionate only
if you fail to consider the circumstances in which it occurs.
