OK, I must admit that I am not following this story very closely. I guess the drift is a US spy plane was flying near China and a couple of hotshot Chinese pilots decided to play some Top Gun in real life. In this case Maverick decided to hit the US plane. Crashed and burned. Oh well.
Who's at fault. Everyone wants to know. Who's at fault? I do not know who is telling the truth and being that we are talking Bush and the Chinese, you cannot believe either one of them. I think both sides have acted like idiots. Both sides have their own idiotic opinions and concerns. All I can say is, "Look at the Facts!"
The most important fact is whether the US plane was in international air
space. Funny to think we can determine who owns what space, but that is a
different story. If the plane was in legal space, then the Chinese pilot was
at fault.
If the plane was in Chinese air space, then the US pilot was at fault.
That is all there is to it.
After this simple procedure, then the two idiots in charge can fight out who needs to apologize, who punishes whom, and what happens to Taiwan. Oh, what a world we live in!
