In life peace is an illusion. Cos in our everyday life we are at war with our own very selves.
The only time any man can have peace, is when he is 6-feet under.

There can never be true peace until Jesus millennium reign, because the present ruler of the world is Satan the Prince of the world but the only one who can give peace is Jesus the Prince of peace. Nemo dat quod non habet, literally meaning "no one gives what they don't have"

Human is its own greatest enemy.

We should continue to pray for world peace.

Man this whole situation went really badly for Iran, their military flex got outed for being a sham, and then they own-goaled in the most spectacular way. Shame all those lives had to be ruined for a failed dick swing.

Iran: 290 killed
July 3, 1988: An Airbus A-300 belonging to Iran Air, flying from Bandar Abbas in Iran to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, was shot down in Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf shortly after takeoff by two missiles fired from a frigate, USS Vincennes, patrolling the Strait of Hormuz, apparently mistaking it for a fighter aircraft.

The 290 passengers on board were killed, including 66 children.

The United States paid Iran $101.8m in compensation for the victims following a settlement at the International Court of Justice.

As part of the agreement, the US did not admit legal liability or formally apologise to Iran for the tragedy.

The US later awarded the captain of USS Vincennes, Will C Rogers, the Legion of Merit for his service as a commander.

I’ve always knew US is nowhere near the Angel they present themselve as. They are just as wicked and cruel as the known terrorists, they have been able to fool so many because they always act in disguise. They don’t deserve the world power especially not with Trump as the head, infact no nation does!

Can you imagine all of them playing with human lives all for the sake of protecting their territories. One of the reason that it is advisable not to be flying around during conflicts between super powers especially within the affected area. RIP to the dead.

Thanks for bringing this thread. To you who think that Iran bombed down d plane intentionally or due to lack of technical know, now u can see dat US had once bombed down an Iranian passenger plane with even more civilians on board, as many as 200+. They said it was a mistake, so do i say they lacked the technical know that they couldn't identify a passenger plane from a military jet fighter, i simply understand human error is a reality. And Israel also shot down an Egyptian war plane for the same reason Iran shot down the plane, and as usual, it's a mistake. If u want to blame someone, blame Trump cause his poor decision got us here. Most countries and people who thought Trump did well by authorizing the killing of Iranian general should hv their regret now as their citizens, relatives and loved ones are victims of this drama. Lesson is: War neither favours the mighty nor the weak, it destroys all, guilty or innocent. Trump should make peace with Iran cause miscalculation like this pose grave harm to unintended civilian target.

So US once shutdown an Iranian comercial jetliner killing 290 people of which 66 were kids, and they only paid compensation and case was closed

Iran did the same and all the noise going on and double standard from hypocrites

..
It happened 32 yrs ago, obviously the Media then will make a big deal out of it, and alot of people will be bashing them like we are doing Iran now. 32 yrs ago most people in this forum were very Young, some have not even been given birth to.
Try to think reasonably.

This is an interesting topic. It is a front page material but I won't be surprised if this piece of information is denied some thousands of persons as a result of it not hitting the front page.


If it is Tacha this and that, it must certainly hit front page. For how long must we continue to celebrate mediocrity?

The Iranians should know that the pains they felt, the tears they shed on Iranian national tv ( both crocodile and real) after Qassem Soleimani was killed is what the families of those who perished in the downed airliner are going through (psychological trauma) presently.

Enough is enough
