In fact, I'd be very angry if I knew for certain that it were. I think the Chinese may very well interpret it as a message like that, but war yields all kinds of unintended accidents, including many people dying from friendly fire, so I remain unconvinced (but convinceable). kushibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306033998028548550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869680.post-82885420856061300942012-11-07T02:30:38.430+09:002012-11-07T02:30:38.430+09:00The Carrefour protest had to do with the Western p...The Carrefour protest had to do with the Western position on Tibet, not the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia. If you really think the American government and military is so clumsy to bomb "off target", you are mistaken. The bombing was not an accident, but framed as one to negate responsibility. I was told that the Chinese were helping an opposing side during that whole situation and that the U.S. did not like it one bit. So it was done to effectively decimate the Chinese base of operations in Yugoslavia so that the other side would not have Chinese support.itissaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234994514840320466noreply@blogger.com
