[edit] Removing POV bits

"Fame" is too much for a traitor. 217.144.98.250 10:53, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Get a grip. "Traitor" to the Communist dictators? Sure. He chose freedom over a life of slavery to the state. If you can't handle that, tough. A2Kafir 13:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

"Fame" isn't POV. Murderers can be famous. So can heroes. Calling him a hero is arguably POV but he was undeniably famous. Kaleja 22:59, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, he traited Comunist dictators for good of Capaitlist dictators. But stealing of MiG turns him into traitor of millions of simple Soviet peoples as it's put their lifes in danger during cold war... Oleg_Str

How's that? The only way the Russian MiG-25s would have been used was to destroy inbound American bombers. That would only have happened if America was under nuclear attack from the USSR (Khrushchev: "We will bury you!). In short, you're complaining that Belenko gave the US a slight advantage, one that, combined with others, didn't allow the USSR to get away with the first strike they dearly wanted to launch. Well, gee, so sorry. A2Kafir 21:41, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
