The two are not equivalent. Other nations have every right to fly or send ships in anywhere in international waters that they want. You don't have every right to make punching motions in front of my face all day. A analogy might be if you made punching motions 20 feet away from me, but not on my property or on private property we you are not allowed or are told to leave. Also for this analogy to hold I would have to be in the same place while you are 20 feet away, because China did not move away from our plane. <g> Another problem with the analogy is that punching motions are atleast a mock violent act. The US plane was unarmed and was not making fake attack runs. So instead of punching motions you would have to just be watching me from 20 feet away. Tim
