If that can happen, we probably won't be a single planet race, and many problems of the world would have been solved if the resources spent on military/ conflict were channelled into other venues. This is a true tragedy that has occurred.... | ||

You wouldn't have thought people needed to learn the lesson 'it’s not a good idea to give highly sophisticated weapons to people who have almost no idea what they are doing with them.' But apparently Moscow does. It’s made so much more tragic by the fact the rebels/separatists almost certainly didn’t mean to bring down this particular plane. 300 life’s, for no good reason. edit: I guess it hasn't be conclusively proved the separatists did it. So I should frame this by saying this is what I believe happended and this is how I feel about it if that does turn out to be the case. | ||

From my understanding, the separatists claimed the missiles were working, while Kiev said it's not. So you believe what Kiev says now? From your history you were highly skeptical of anything from Kiev, convenient timing to switch sides. Like you said, look at the facts. Your postings has indicated that you have chosen a side, and your cherry picking of convenient "facts" are indicative too. Sorry you lack credibility IMO. Well here is a statement (from today) from the Prosecutor General of Ukraine that rebel forces had not captured any BUK systems. Though its a Russian source citing the Prosecutor General of Ukraine it should be easy to find a Ukrainian (or any other) source for the same thing. http://news.mail.ru/politics/18918028/?frommail=1 + Show Spoiler + После того, как был сбит пассажирский самолет, военные доложили президенту, что у террористов нет наших ракетных комплексов “Бук” и С-300, — сообщил генпрокурор. — Захвата этого вооружения не было "After having been hit by a passenger plane, the military reported to the President that the terrorists have our missile systems" Buk "and C-300 - said the prosecutor general. - There was no capture of these weapons.

Of course they are going to say that If you have both sides reporting on the same thing in the same way thats just more conformation that the news is true. No? Elaborate why 'of course they would say that'? Why would Kiev deliberately lie? In your own opinion. | ||

Edit: A Russian BUK missile launcher has been seen in separatist occupied territory. They don't say who's seen it. The BUK has the ability to take out planes at high altitudes. I "could" have been used to shoot it down. But there's no proof for it. Also Dutch ministry (at press conference) now also says it's likely that the airplane has been shot down.
