  I don't ever think that we will get the truth out of all this.  Russia
is by no means going to want to admit that they blew it.  If they respond
at all.  I am not discounting the possibility that the pilot that actually
fired the missle, may have had an emotional problem..psychotic.  There
may have been a mechanical error that caused the missle to launch when
the pilot thought that he was only 'arming' the missle ....


	the list goes on...I'm trying to be kind and positive, but when
    I think of Russia's non-chelonce(sp?) at the entire thing so far, I
    feel that they know that they blew it.  There are too many described
    procedures that HAVE to be followed.  They even take into account the
    possibilities that the offending craft's radio might be dead.  In any
    case the attacking pilot probably saw the people in the cabin before
    he shot the airliner down.

	"all in all.. it's just another brick in the wall.."
