Default Thank God we're not Russia


Something suspicious here?

"The pilot of one of two Russian planes that crashed almost simultaneously
had sent a hijack alert,"...and, in the same story:

"FSB officials had not yet found evidence of a terrorist act or
explosion..."

Do the Russians really believe people are that stupid?

No, but not acknowledging the obvious is effective worldwide. Think WMD.

The Feds believe the American public is as stupid. Its the way of
governments with too much power and too little respect for their people.

That's redundant.

It's more the way of government that is no longer the servant, but now is
our MASTER. A government that no longer governs, but RULES.

They actually believe readers are intelligent enough to understand what
"had not yet found" means, sorry they misplaced their expecations.

Near as I can tell, you and I are the only people who know what that means.

Right. The planes didn't explode. I forgot.

Perhaps you can clue us in as to how you "know" that they exploded,
and how this "proves" that terrorists were involved. Personally, I'd
consider it a bad day if I couldn't think of at least a dozen reasons
for an explosion. As more _real_ evidence comes in, some of those ideas
will be proven wrong, but so far I haven't seen enough information to
start make any decisions.

Well, Rich, they've got witnesses on television networks worldwide
describing the explosions. The point of contention here is that the
officials had not yet found "evidence" of terrorism or explosion. Well,
when witnesses all over the place are describing explosions independently of
each other, that's called evidence.

Either that, or the value of multiple human eye witnesses in Russia (and
this forum, apparently) means nothing.

You get it yet? I didn't say anything about proof or what people "know."
The point is about evidence.
