[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jeff Raven: [QB] There is no sense in lying, Jeff, just to end this fiasco- because it won't end there. Apologizing, would in a sense, make the US look weak. Not to mention, it would a lie, then we'd certainly would lose trust in our allies. You don't negotiate with terrorists, Jeff, and you don't concede to lying governments. Currently, the Chinese military is using this event to boost their budget. They're milking it for every drop they can get. You think they care about some pilot? Do you think they care about 24 people being detained? They don't, Jeff. If they can make their budget bigger, and win favor with the people, they'll do anything they can. They do not want an apology out of principle, they want one to make the US look bad. [/QB][/QUOTE]
