surveillance drone"

I read this and it bothers the hell out of me...And let me be clear, I am not defending Iran on anything, but...

USA sends a surveillance drone to Iran (a drone is unmanned), Iran doesn't like the fact that they are being spied on and they also know that drones do shoot and kill people, so they shoot the drone down, no US lives are lost but republicans expect whoever is president to attack a country because they shot a drone that was spying on them, or maybe even planning an attack as drones are used to do so? In Florida that is called "Stand your ground", someone just made you scared about your safety, you shoot, and all is well...which it has proven to be a crazy law, but nonetheless worth for comparison.

I really do not understand that logic...You spy on someone with a robot, they shoot it down, and you are supposed to start WW-III because of a robot so that millions of innocent people can get killed...Man, are we screwed out of our heads.
