Apology.

Yeah, this incident with China is fucking ridiculous. Its a "crisis" now. What the fuck? The fact that this is a crisis is silly. If China wanted an apology, then why didn't we give it to them? Well there are some consequences that come along with this, such as indicating a level of fault in the incident, but the US is at fault in some degree. The Chinese pilot may have fucked up, but the US put itself in the situation by flying right up against the borders of China and putting the plane at risk. The US may have been in the legal right of being over international waters, but there was a hostile intention behind the presence there. The US did have some fault in this situation, it was not all the fault of the US, but there was some that certainly warrents an apology. I'm sure that if the airplanes of foreign powers flew up and down along our borders, then the US would not be particullarly happy about it. So, lets just get the situaion over with and admit some fault. It seems advantageous to do so if it will preserve relations. Maybe its too late now. Eh.
