Anyway, this is a gray area. If the "never" part of your post it true than the US would not send US troops anywhere near Iraq.
Also, one knows that shooting down a plane with 100 Americans on board will save 3000 other Americans in WTC then the decision might be right. Those 100 will be killed anyway. That's the basic premise behind wars. Even deffensive ones. You sacrifice the lives of a few to save the lives of many.
Again, I would not like to be in shoes of anybody having to make such a decision (shooting down a plane), but that decision might be the right one under some circumstances. The US government agrees with that point of view, since they do have provisions for such situations.
