I like the idea of sending them Jane's and Windex.  It's appropriate.  But
what about their latest lie?  You know, when the alleged pilot who allegedly
was the one who slaughtered 269 innocent civilians (not to mention a nice
aircraft) went on Soviet TV and claimed that the "target" performed evasive
maneuvers before he mercilessly unleashed his two Anabs?

Right.  I can just see the pilot of a wide-body commercial aircraft filled
with passengers attempting to evade a Flagon.  I wasn't aware that Boeing
designed 747's to reach mach 1.5 or perform combat maneuvers.  I've been in
rather severe turbulence myself but I'll bet it wouldn't come close to being
in a jumbo jet trying to do even a 3-g climb.  Better get out the industrial-
strength Windex.  Or maybe a "dunce" sign to hang on their Pinocchio-noses.
