Why the hell can't they apologise for the mistake instead of pointing fingers at the CIA?? Who the hell cares about the families killed? (Or the families killed on the Iranian airliner?) I mean the Lockerbie families were compensated, granted this was a deliberate act but still doesn't help.
Negr: I am no fan of Bush and the current USA foreign policy and the attitude "our way or the highway" in fact I am glad to see you got the point of the comparision with the USSR...except of course some of the US enemies really are dangerous (North Korea) others are just comic and not a threat imo (Venezuela).
But we went off topic, there still is a tendency (I know many Russians, ex-Soviets and ex-Yugoslavs, took one year of Russian as well) to never admit mistakes (like many neo-conservatives in the USA). The USSR was well within its rights to declare no-fly zones over its territory, but they should have come clean and said we made a mistake and offered compensation (did they in fact?). Instead you went off on a tirade and never answered what happened to the KAL 007? Did it exist? So what happened to those people? Like the friend of my boss' brother in law?? Just curious as to what happened to the Boeing 747 regardless of if there was a spy plane or not.
