Russian Diplo's hit by friendly fire... Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

...Fedayeen fire, that is. Russian Diplo's hit by Fedayeen fighters while fleeing Bagdad. How fittingly ironic. Do you think they were killed by Russian weapons?

Muhahahahahahah! gotta love it.

The terrorists would have found other weapons and other reasons to attack the US anyway. There is a high degree of failure within Arab society, and Arab regimes divert attention, by funding education which demonizes the US.

Pah!

You were the one making half-witted claims that CIA meddling was acceptable, even at the cost of American lives.

Foolishness. Good day...

The meddling was aiding the enemy of our enemy, not our enemy.

The cases are different.

No, since the Americans didn't smuggle the aircraft into the US illegally.

thats not where skyjack666 is deriving the irony. its the fact that is was russians getting killed by russian weapons. the fact that they may or may not have been smuggled is irrelevant.

No... it's the fact that they were secretly smuggled into the country, that would have required the Russian diplomat's cooperation, thus the irony in their death.

There is nothing funny about death...Period.

I wouldn't expect you to laugh at dead US Marines.
Or some Iraqi toddler with it's brains blown across a wall.

So let's not all devolve into hooting cretins everytime a death is announced, eh?

I'll repeat, I wasn't amused by the death, but by the irony of the means of the death.

It really is a tragedy that the Russian diplomats got killed.

Really.

You guys know, the funny thing is that the Russians say they were caught ina crossfire even though they had told the Coolition were they were going to be at the time, and at least in one place i looke,d they claimed some of the bullets were from M-16's, and the Russians have demanded of both the Iraqis and the US to not hurt Russians.

Maybe a bit less Ironic after all.
