The people of Russia do NOT shoot down 747's, the government does. What would you think of some person from El Salvador who says about you, "Oh, that's one of the guys who sends weapons to the death squads"? If you think that all "Ruskies" are out to kill innocent Americans, you have a lot of learning to do about the world and people from foreigh countries. Wayne
