Iran flight 655

Related to my previous post, I have read that the motivation for the lockerbie bombing may have been the horrendous shootdown of an Iranian passenger aircraft by the US missile ship USS Vincennes.


This is an incident again where seemingly law means nothing to people with power, the international community should really have insisted on a complete explanation of the situation, had it been for example the Iranians shooting down a passenger aircraft full of americans just off the US coast and over US airspace I am convinced the international response would have been quite different!

I just hope changes can be made internationally to address these misbalanced responses. They re-inforce the knowledge that there is no equality between countries and their people in reality. Unless this international level of respect for others is observed there will never be peace between the countries that are treated as second class and those who believe themselves to be superior, this does seem to be someting that the US is misunderstanding.

Either that or they fully understand it and have no intention of allowing other countries to grow and develop and are thinking from a purely selfish narrow minded perspective.
