Maybe whomever is in charge of inspections over there should be investigated.

My perception (and I could be 100% wrong about this) is that many countries (airlines), purchase old planes from other various countries (most notably the U.S.). I'm guessing that many of these countries do not have the same standards that we have over here. Plus it takes alot more to keep these older planes going.
FWIW: I thought that I heard that this crash was pilot error. But, I also think that's always the first guess so early in to any investigation.
