Subject: L-29 cruise missile hype
lastdingo    10/31/2002 7:04:06 AM
I cannot understand why the "threat" of L-29 or MiG-23 "cruise missiles" made its way into my newspaper. Wasn't it supposed that Iraq is a bad guy country? Isn't it possible to find some bad guys (probably with cancer) which would accept a suicide mission? What's the fearsome difference between a plane with a pilot and WMD against a plane with WMD, but no pilot? There's no relevant difference, and the fact that this "threat" became so well-known is really interesting. There are thousands of CMs outside of the Nato available. Not worth to mention. Iraq probably rebuilt some of its planes for enhanced autopilot functions. Wow! Maybe the attention has something to do with the attempts of a small group "stupid white men" which indoctrinate us with their opinions by repeating them 1001 times?
