: You mean the ukrainians, about two years ago? That chartered Tu-154 had
: five israeli bioweapon "scientists" on-board en route to Russia. They
: were such a grave danger to the whole mankind that they needed to be
: eliminated at such a huge price in civilians.

: You mean the USSR, with KAL-007? There was an US RC-135 in the air,
: using the KAL-007 to hide behind it. The laser gyroscope error that led
: the Jumbo to fly over soviet territory and super-secret ICBM sites is
: certainly strange. You can blame that Jumbo on the CIA, rather than the
: soviets.

Actually I was thinking about Israel (a nation filled with Russians)
shooting down an Egyptian airliner. And no doubt the rooskies had a hand in
that whole 'Vincennes' thing... :-)
