MH17

Man, what does one say, what does one say? What a miserable day. On top of Israel's ground offensive targeting Gaza (after so many recent Palestinian deaths inc. 4 teenage boys playing soccer on a beach), this Malaysian Airline flight downed by a rocket in The Ukraine. 298 people dead - 28 of them Australian. Man o man. Why the hell would a Russian separatist down a passenger plane? Some soulless thug with a missile system mistaking the MA plane for an enemy craft? Some soulless thug taking the plane out regardless? Jesus, I hope those responsible are brought to justice. I wonder whether that will happen. What will Putin do? What will be Obama's next move?
