But for the Chinese government to portray it as a pre-meditated,
purposeful and deliberate US/NATO attack on China is unimaginably pathetic and
outrageously irresponsible.


Is that based on fact, or assumption? Or on believing Mr. "I did not have sex with that woman" Clinton?

One report has it that we bombed the embassy because it was beaming Serbian television signals, since most of the Serbian towers had been knocked off the air. That seems to me pretty intentional.

The "oops we targeted that building intentionally but we didn't know that it was the Chinese embassy" excuse is beyond lame. If it's true, some major heads should roll in our military and intelligence services. It's not as though the Chinese embassy was hidden, or that our embassy staff and press corps in Yugoslavia had never been there. But frankly, I don't believe it for a moment. We have had seven weeks to work out bombing targets. It appears now that the building was on the approved target list.

BTW, I haven't been on this thread recently. I assume someone pointed out that an embassy is the soverign soil of the country, so we have in fact bombed China itself, which is clearly an act of war.
