that is how defense shields work... shoot down the ones that will hit you or populated areas. misses aren’t targeted.

I agree with this is how defense shields work. But we should take it up a notch and shoot back.

I'm not saying start another war, regime change, or any of that. I'm just saying we need to make it a policy to shoot back for a minute and communicate the message that attacking us is bad. An argument could be made that the September 11 attacks might not have happened had we made a habit of shooting back during the previous years as embassy after embassy was attacked in the Middle East and Africa.

The problem is that a miss will likely hit the locals as the embassy is in the middle of the Baghdad green zone. But that is a problem for the GoI to rein in their Iranian backed militants /militia units. However, some local jackass will say it’s the fault of the embassy being there in the first place that caused the attack and got regular people killed.
