I think we bombed the Chinese Embassy on purpose, too, but there's no way to prove it. Even if someone admitted it, everybody else would say they were lying.

On the other hand, if, as it is widely rumored, the Chinese were helping our enemy with electronic intelligence DURING battle, they were fair game, embassy or not. Using an embassy as camouflage is a violation of international law.

Their letting it go strongly suggests that they knew they were in the wrong. It's completely inconsistent with any innocent explanation because the Chinese historically don't just let ANYTHING go.

You certainly sounded adamant on the subject of whether it was deliberate or not as I've previously stated.

I missed where you were authorized to make an award for "most obnoxious person on this thread". Perhaps you're the current holder of such an award and wish to pass it on.
