I wonder how the NYT decides which articles they open to comments.
Dear America:
We in the government know we haven't been living up to your expectations. We know we've let you down a few times. Well we're going to make it better. We've been doing a lot of thinking and we're ready to make some changes if you'll meet us halfway. We even got you a present.

Yeah, tensions are all Iran's fault. I not like we've done anything to provoke them, like assassinations, sponsoring anti-govt terrorist organizations inside Iran, hold war games off their coast, violate their airspace with drones, etc..

They have every right to shoot down our drones. War games in international water? They can't say shit.
