The United States of America apologizes to the
People's Republic of China
for allowing our slow, lumbering reconnaissance
plane to be hit by your
poorly trained, hot-dogging fighter pilot, while
flying in international
airspace. We're sorry we have to fly surveillance
missions to monitor a
country that has nuclear missiles pointed at us.
We're sorry your pilot didn't follow international
standards of fighter
intercept protocol. We're sorry his aircraft
recognition skills were so poor
he didn't realize the EP-3 aircraft was propeller
driven and flew his
aircraft through its propeller arc, destroying his
aircraft and nearly
killing 24 American crewmen. We're sorry your
fighter pilot's survival
training and equipment was so inadequate that he
couldn't survive until your
poorly trained and equipped navy could find him
(they turned down our offer
for search and rescue assistance). We're sorry you
violated international
law and arrested the crewmen of an aircraft that
legally diverted into your
airfield under emergency conditions caused by your
pilot's actions, after
being led there by one of your other pilots. We're
sorry you violated
international law and boarded a state aircraft.
We're sorry the world is now
seeing you for the enemy of freedom, truth, and
democracy that you really
are. We're sorry you see yourself as a superpower
when in reality you are a
third world nation (the average Chinese worker earns
less than $.10 a day).
We're sorry you are loosing so much face over this.
We're sorry that you
were able to steal some missile and nuclear secrets
from us. We're sorry you
haven't learned from the Soviet Union's collapse and
failed to embrace
democracy and capitalism (compare tiny Taiwan and
mainland China; same
people, same culture, but Taiwan's capitalistic
economy is a powerhouse and
China's economy is still mired in communism). We're
sorry for the future
Chinese military deaths that will occur when we
retaliate for your roughish
behavior. And most of all, we're sorry for the
Chinese people who suffer its
leaders' incompetence.
Sincerely,
Charles, Citizen of the United States of
America
P.S. If a speed boat goes out to inspect a cruise
ship and they collide,
who do you think is at fault?
