I don't know!

Please let me know how any media is going for the same slice!

You see that's the problem for you guys. the masses are no longer brainwashed with traditional media and have the interwebz and as a result are far more informed today than in the past. So they see through the elites and cast their votes accordingly.

I don't watch TV news or read newspapers and haven't done so for years and there are lots like me.

If it didnt react quickly he wouldve been accused of not acting quickly enough and it wouldve stirred another round of calls for his head.  Its just another one of those fucked if ya do, fucked if ya dont things.  PM cant win.

I dont understand why they are saying its accicental.  You dont normally accidentally fire a missile into the sky at a commercial airplane.  Likewise you dont normally assume a large passenger jet, of which hundreds take off and land everyday, is an enemy threat.  My gut feeling it was deliberate, either by the Iranian government or terrorists.  Maybe because there were so many Canadians on board, they thought they could get away with an attack on an American ally rather than a direct attack on the USA.

Some people are so naive, travelling to Iran and assuming they’re safe. Commercial airlines should really be avoiding countries so hostile.

So the Iranians deliberately attacked a passenger jet with approximately 70 Iranian nationals on it?

Not particularly.

But do you actually think they would intentionally kill their own civilians flying on a Ukranian jet as some sort of payback to the US?  Pretty long bow bud. It has set back Iran immensely, proven via their desperation to cover it up.

I think the simplest explanation is the Iranian's thought it was the Iranian mea culpa. They thought it was an unfriendly target and hit it. I wonder how significant these protests will be. Imagine is regime change occurred because of it.

Corey Feldman names Charlie Sheen as the celebrity who sod.omised the now-deceased Corey Haim when he was a child (age 11).

FWIW, Sheen was predicted on Reddit as the celeb due to be named, 48 hrs before Feldman named him.
