You really don't see the difference between telling a flight that it does not have permission to fly through a given airspace (but is otherwise free to do what it wants) and telling a flight it must land a certain airport under the false pretense of a "security threat"?
The Bolivian plane was not forced to land anywhere (it could have returned to Russia if it wanted), it simply wasn't given permission to overfly certain countries.
