So, a plane crashes over Egypt, and all the western countries are immediately crying "It's a bomb! It's a bomb!" before even the final analysis is in. If this plane went down over Europe or the US, the authorities would all be saying "It's too soon to speculate. We need to investigate further." So, where is the proof that this was actually a bomb and not, say, an explosion in a fuel tank or mechanical problem leading to catastrophic failure? Why is everyone convinced that a bomb was on board so early into the investigation?
I had this reaction after the World Trade Center was brought down. It was my opinion that the US should pursue investigation before leaping to military solutions, and that if we really wanted justice that we should let someone else drive it to ensure objective results. Naturally, I was deemed a "terrorist sympathizer."
