Okay let me get this straight.   A plane carrying spy equipement 
that is skirting the international waters of China 4,000 miles away 
from American soil should not be held accountable for assuming the 
right to spy alongside another nation's boundary.   So I suppose it 
is okay for China to fly spy planes alongside the American coastline.   
 
Servicemen who are doing operations like spying on other countries 
must accept the risks of their profession.  President-by-default Bush 
is irresponsible when he acts like US servicemen should be able to go 
anywhere and do as they please without potential repercussions.
 
Why not apologize?    China has more than one billion people.  We have
 no right to interfere in any other nation's politics, nor should we act
 like we should be able to do what we would not allow other countries 
to do to our own nation.   Do not presume that China's countryfolk will
 treat the US as their savior.   Our own government is not at all 
corruption-free, nor can we be said to be any more morally superior.   
No nation is perfect.   We should spend more time on our 
own domestic problems.
