U2 fiasco was violating international law. There are rules for flying over another country's air space. If country detects an unidentified plane flying over its space. If does not identify itself, country can blast it and it is legal.

If you put trust in grey areas and accept them, you end up with: Tax loopholes, shadow banking, dark pools of money which led to economic debacle you are experiencing right now. Think about it. It is the mindset of people. Don't let your own perceptions cloud yuour views. Canadians learned to trust the US and the US forces can do whatever it wants above it. Other countries do not have that kind of approach to the US.

Good point, the U-2 reference. Any country has the right, and maybe the obligation to destroy intelligence gathering assets that violate their sovereign territory. It should be taken for granted that if you put such a device where it is not welcome, the party violated has every right to remove it by any means. It is a much more sticky wicket if there is a person/pilot involved, but still within the scope of national defense operations and merely an act of self defense. The aggressor is the drone operator, not the shooter.
