Forget About Everything Else...

They are only denying access to Boeing and the US, and can you blame them? Remember that the Irak invasion was justified by lies and false reports so the iranians may be thinking along those lines.

Yes, I can blame them. They knew that they were going to be firing missiles at that time in order to make a point. They could have closed their airspace to civilian traffic. They failed to do that. Even if the downing of the aircraft was an accident, they bear the blame.

Actions - or in this case, failures to act - have consequences.
