(OT) hansro - I will concede the airspace violation on landing but I think there are agreements in place to cover emergencies and the alternative to landing was crashing into the sea. I understand that they don't like the surveillance but we don't like their intelligence activities within the US. An unarmed surveillance aircraft isn't exactly a threatening posture, it is mostly irritating. Capitulating to demands from someone who is in the wrong isn't always good politics. Witness England's pre WWII posture toward Germany. Powell gave them a way to save face with the statement of regret and they didn't want to take it.
