Knip, I have a call in to Tom Clancy to get the answer you're seeking. <g> OK, you got me. I can't think of a single incident that's public anyway. Unlike us war loving Canadians that sent our one working boat after a Spanish trawler a few years back, caught and confiscated it for fishing in our waters. All the same, the US must have several effective alternatives to gathering this type of intelligence without sending an airplane with people into another country's territory. Don't get me wrong. The Chinese are far from blameless. A jet is much faster and more maneuverable than any turboprop. It just shouldn't have been where it could be hit. Doesn't speak well for the skill / intelligence of the pilot that allowed his jet to get knocked out of the air by a turboprop. So I'd like to vote that the US apologizes: e.g. "We're sorry you got so pissed off that you lost a plane and pilot". Send the US folk home. Then everyone can get back to making this a better world to live in. More trade which is more free and more fair. Note that I doubt that we'll ever reach the ideal of fully free or fully fair trade. As the global economy grows, more resources would then be directed toward improved education. IMO, that would result in the desired lift to Life Quality standards; and, less subjugation of people who have become more valuable. Best wishes, Ian.
