Fully agree with the spying thing. Everyone does it. Lets face it, the chinese are stalling and stalling and stalling over this one, asking for what they know the American's cannot give. An apology. Why? Because they want to have a good long look at what is in that plane. They want to know what the american's know about them. Then they can change codes etc etc etc. The American's know that :
1) They can't issue an apology, they would loose lots of face back home, and in the international community.
2) They know that if they issue an apology, the next thing that the chinese will say is - "Well gee, we asked you before to stop flying near out airspace so either you say you will do that or you don't get the crew & the plane back."
So why issue the apology? Theres no point because they cannot go to the level of saying they will not fly spy missions anymore.
I think pretty much the chinese are the ones causing the issue here, they have 'little bully' syndrome. They are officially a superpower, but really when they are against the US as a superpower, they really arent that super. So now is their chance to say, "Fuck You" to the bigger bully, prove that they have just as big balls, and pull the bigger bully down a notch. The US is in the unfortunate position of being the bigger bully who is having to pretend that they are actually just trying to protect people, so they cannot behave as a bully should, ie resuce the crew and destroy the plane.
Anyways, i've blahd on enough. Theres my 2 cents. And no, I'm not American. I'm british.
I win again.. hmm makes me think of abba:)
Anyways.. back to flamebait boy.
Here are my responses to your highly intelligent posts.
1) You can't spell.
>> "then edit it down to a reasonable side. "
2) You hide behind being an anonymous coward and then abuse people, and you call people "powerless and impotent" and "p0s3r" , methinks it is you who is these things.
3) If you have an issue with Katz's articles, then use the back button on your browser. Thats what its there for.
4) You are a twit. Shut up.
