For me, this is only a brilliant examle of propaganda campaign. Conducted by US. Incredible and unseen before. Soviets were once again declared cold-blooded killers. And this time, US propagandists gained a great victory.
In July 1988 Iranian Airbus was shoot down by USS Vincennes in neutral waters over the Gulf. 290 crew and passengers dead, including 66 children. Official vercion - radar operators confused 747 for enemy F-14. 9 years after, US paid totally $61.8 million in compensation. And then, the incident was forgotten. Commander of USS Vincennes was awarded for this campaign.
Nobody talks about it now - as if it was a simple flycatching.
It was forgotten. Because it was done by US.

Both were stupid accidents IMO by two militaristic superpowers.
I'm Canadian so I hate both Russia and the USA. Kidding.
Honestly what kind of stupid statement is that? What happened to KAL 007 then? My boss' brother in law knew someone on the plane, were all the passengers and the families CIA agents?
Reading your other posts, well I agree spreading democracy by war is a dumb idea. Sounds like Trotsky eh tovarish? :rotfl:
Some of your other posts were strange, is the USA the only country to kill children? You mentioned WWII bombings, yes Japan was area bombed, Germany was area bombed by the British though, the USA "tried" precision bombing. I suppose the Red Army were careful not to hit civilians with artillery, katyushas or Pe-2 in Konigsberg or Berlin? German women had special lessons in how to become proletarians though, give it for free. US soldiers I guess always had money to pay.
Lots of countries got the benefit of Soviet help, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Hungary. Sorry cheap shot comrade.
BTW, I don't think Russia is a threat, or Islam...you guys got enough in your backyard, skinheads in Voronezh killed 22 people some Africans and even a Spanish guy among.
