Nobody is debating what happened to Iran Flight 655 or how it happened. But the fact is that there was a settlement that Iran accepted. And that netheretheless there are a bunch of revenge-yellers here. If they can come yell here, I can come reply here.You know, sometimes it seems to me you feel like just starting a quarrel for the sake of a quarrel. How can the case of an airplane that has violated the air space of a nation be similar to the case of Iran's airliner that was flying over Persian Gulf?
I'm not sure what you are trying to say here? They were compensated? End of story? It is not about the compensation or settlement. It is about the fact that a country, thousands of km away, gives itself the right to bring its destroyers in an area that it has no business in and then shoot down a passenger airplane that was flying from a third country to another third country and then not apologize, because it can.
Now if you think all that is ok, then keep it to yourself please.
Instead, let me know some nice locations to visit in Amsterdam for a family trip with kids. Good restaurants is appreciated too. Please send me a private message if you will.
The Russians offered no apologies, but they also didn't demand or accept a settlement. Unlike some other country.Um... okay?
Not wishing to be rude Penguin, but I don't see your point. I'm not about to defend the USSR for them shooting down a civilian airliner, I'm condemning the US for doing it. The USSR was not mentioned.
Though if you insist:
As if there is such a thing as 'us Europeans'....Always is hard for me to understand you Europeans.
So, uhm, how exactly would shooting down a civilian airliner from Iran help Saddam? Or push Iran to accept UNSC resolution 590? And what does the US gain by scaring Iranian people?In Iran, most of the people believe that Americans did this to support Saddam, push Iran to accept United Nations Security Council Resolution 598 as well as send message to people of Iran that you are not safe more.

http://www.nytimes.com/1987/05/09/world/soviet-ship-attacked-by-iran-in-gulf-us-says.htmlyou should be at that time and then judge every side intention.
as you said Iran was in direct war in Persian gulf with foreign powers not just America, Iran also hit soviet warship before and was in war with them in Afghanistan too.

I said what? Where?
And this related how to Flight 655? How does US gain from pushing Iran towards the CCCP?I think Americans want to finish Iran-Iraq war to push Iran toward east against soviet.
anyway Americans wanted to end war and they got it.
