On July 3, 1988 the U.S. Navy by horrific mistake murdered
290 innocent civilians aboard an unarmed Iran passenger aircraft—Iran Air
Flight 655 [IR655] . It was one of those truly tragic errors that occur in the
heat of battle. The USS Vincennes was legally positioned in international
waters just off the coast of Iran and was part of the task force sent to defend
the God given rights of the down-trodden international oil corporations to make
a few bucks.
Yesterday, July 17, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17
[MH17], with 298 innocent civilians on board was blasted out of the sky. It was
one of those truly tragic errors that occur in the heat of battle. The shooters
of the missile were legally positioned in their homeland in eastern Ukraine and
belonged to a popular army engaged in protecting their native territory from annexation
by a central government, which they deem to be illegitimate.
