Yep, it takes carnage to bring out the worst in some of the mouthbreathers. Planes crash, charter planes in poor countries crash a whole lot more often. Nothing strange about that.

I love the guy that said that Egypt would block McDonnell Douglas officials! (the 737 is made by Boeing, McDonnell Douglas is no more, they were bought by Boeing) But facts never, ever, ever get in the way of a conspiracy theorist, do they?

They crash with Tony Blair is in the 'hood.

They crash while there is a manhunt on for AQ operatives infiltrating flight crews.

They crash when they are full of French tourists and the Moslems are having a hissy - big demos - over the French bannig headscarves in schools.

They crash when numerous other flights have been cancelled due to security concerns.

They crash in places where gate and ramp security sucks.

Entirely coincidentally. Right.

Your repeated assertion that any suspicion of terrorism (in a Islamist country, during a heightened worldwide alert, with air traffic being the primary focus) consititutes a "conspiracy theory" (what a tired, old phrase that is) is beyond laughable. From the tone and content of your posts, it appears that getting the truth about what really brought down this plane is secondary to proving how much smarter and more well-traveled you are than everybody else. Your sneering snobbery is every bit as inappropriate on this thread as the mocking of the crash's French victims.

But, this has been a recurring theme around here. Elitist pollyannas, jumping at the chance to scold the conspiracy crackpots for suspecting Islamist terrorism while the world is at war with Islamist terrorists. Yet somehow, those of us who hear "Egypt" "plane crash" and "dead Western tourists" during these times and think "Islamists" are the stupid ones.

Whatever, man...
