poster44ny -- your response is what's very naive -- destroy it where?
do you think they not only just left it where they found it, but also gave us the GPS coordinates of that location? -- before they found it even we didn't know where it was -- and since they found it we haven't known where it is (not in real time, anyway) -- so we should have just blown up the entire country and its estimated ( https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ir.html ) 77.9 million people?
under diplomatic protocol (even with a country with which we do not presently have formal diplomatic relations, such as Iran), asking for something in that sort of situation back is the utterly normal thing to do -- a first step, not necessarily the last
