MISTAKENLY BOMBED??

 

This beautiful (my opinion) building is the Chinese Cultural Center in New Belgrade. It stands on the site of the former Chinese Embassy that was bombed a US bomber in the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999.

NATO sources said it was an 'accident'and that  they had intended to strike a suspected arms-supply facility. Where that is/ was is unclear to me.

Their excuse was that they were using outdated maps. Oh, please...all that high-tech precision bombing and they had old maps? Oh, please....

They think we are stupid.

Um. An outdated map. Seems a tad unlikely.

COMFORTING

 Of course this is a sneak shot of a couple in the bus the other evening. I wonder what the story is.
