On this day in 1988, July 3: Iran Air 655
...the largest instigator of state-sponsored violence and terrorism in the world shot down Iran flight 655 killing 290 civilians, 66 of whom were children.
Because 14,000 feet and rising is an attack pattern from a tomcat, right?
Scum William C Rogers III was then given a medal by George Bush Sr (may he rot in hell)
US never gave a formal apology nor accepted legal liability for the shootdown.
Just another one of the United States many war crimes.

That was a very shameful event for America.
In the very least, after it was settled in court, the US should have given a formal apology.
