I totaly agree with memnoch and that is the main reason why i didn't reply anymore

I often argue with my friends about somethings and even though these discussions are very heatend i have never killed any of them (yet)
So thy not to take everything to personal

But he's a complete moron
Somehow he thinks it's needed to send Spyplanes to China
And when one of them crashes to a chinese plane and thus killing the chinees pilot
He doesn't seem to know he has actually murdered someone Again
A couple of years ago Russia send spyplanes to America
America took them out of the air and disabled the planes
sending the parts back in small boxes to moskow
But if China does this America will try to start the WWIII

Any opinions on this one??

Oh gosh.. Yep. I have one!

Bush (to me atleast) looks weak. kind of like a rookie, but I hope that will change. I did vote for him, but only to get the 'Clinton Era' out. (Gore). http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif
I did LIKE Gore, but liked what Bushs plans were better..

OK, China.. They say we were in their airspace, when infact we were not. They 'claim' a what.. 200mile buffer when the treaty says 25miles.

Anyway, the chinese plane clipped the American plane. This US plane is SLOW, and those two chinese jets were fast, who can get out of the way faster? (Just one thing that makes be believe that it was not the US's fault)

I KNOW why the US won't apologize. They have spy satellite Intel of this..
(My guess)

If the US isn't VERY careful though, this could get out of hand quickly. China has one of the largest Milatary on the planet. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...smiles/eek.gif

Just some thoughts.. ??

alright, let me be little objective

first of all, no country in the world likes to be spied. US spied china, because US had long ago treated China as potential threat instead of thinking the possible cooperation. the "coincidence" is, in fact, unavoidable due to american foreigne policy. if the planes dont crash, soemthing else will happen.

second, you spy other country, invaded their air (dont claim you didnt because you were SPYING). intruded other nation's land property right. alright, lets not talk about about if you did it right or wrong. but you killed one of other's pilot, crashed their plane, AND landed in their land WITHOUT permission.
and even worse yet, you played a face of being the boss, DEMANDING china to return american men immediately, AND not investigate the spyplane. read it, do those make sense to you?

investigating spyplane had been a long tradition. 1976, a russian fighter plane escaped USSR, and landed in Japan. dispite USSR's strong demand of "returning the plane immediately" US and Japanese formed a 100 scientists investigation group and basically pieced everything on that russian fighterplane. the plane was returned 76 days later after it was RE-MODELED

return the american soldiers and plane dont make sense at all, while, I personally hope these people can go home and reunion with their family. but NOT before US apologize for what they did!

Memnoch 04-08-2001 04:06 AM

From a diplomatic point of view, this issue has moved past who was originally at fault and is now at who can save the most face. And the poor US servicemen are caught in the middle (as was the Chinese pilot that lost his life).

This is now about China's national pride and their determination to show their citizens that they won't be pushed around in their own backyard, irrespective of who was at fault.

This is also about the Bush Administration's drawing their line in the sand and their desire to make sure that China know that the US is a superpower and that China isn't one (yet).

There's a third consideration - China's 1.3 billion people are a huge market for US multinationals so the tone against China has been a lot more respectful than the tone against, say Russia, when the US caught Robert Hanssen spying and kicked out 50 Russian diplomats.

Very interesting and potentially dangerous times ahead.

I don't know about that. If we went to war with China, you can expect Russia to join China. Others that would usually back the US MAY not--knowing what type of alliance they would be up against. ? Just guessing..
