I never said they were awarded medals for shooting down the airliner. All I said was that they were awarded medals despite the fact that they shot down an airliner.
I know it was an "accident", but it was still quite a stupid one, practically barely an accident from what you read about the incident. Awarding medals after that only further gets people angry. Hence you get all these bullshit terrorist strikes. There's plenty of reasons why fucked up shit happens, it's not all just because they hate our freedom and want to convert us all to Islam. It's because the US does and did alot of stupid shit that it doesn't need to do. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
This made me lol though, "Scotch Whiskey" to be renamed "Freedom Whiskey"

I'm also just trying to provide perspective. There's still the issue of the IRA and the USA's attitude towards them and more specifically, extradition cases involving the US and the IRA. It's doesn't really have much to do with the Lockerbie case, like I said, it's all about perspective.
