"I will never apologize for the United States — I don't care what the facts are... I'm not an apologize-for-America kind of guy." - George Bush, Aug 2 1988

These are the words of the (at time) Vice President of the United States after a civilian aircraft carrying 290 passengers, 66 of which were children, was shot down by the reckless USS Vincennes on July 3, 1988. The coverup and lack of apology, continues to this day.

Current events being what they are I thought it would be an appropriate time to bring this up. The rest of this post will be derived from the wiki of the incident. It is worth the time to read the entire article and all the supporting links.
