Condolences to the families of the innocent lives lost yesterday. This was a dastardly act of terrorism which has just escalated a local conflict with features of externally supported civil war into a global one. Not sure whether Moscow, Donetsk separatists or Kiev is to blame for this, or whether it was an accident or a deliberate attempt against a civil aircraft, but the people behind this must be brought to justice as soon as possible. Unfortunately so far only Washington was giving any weight to this ongoing conflict, but this incident will certainly make EU pay attention to the war at their doorstep. As a global citizen, I can only hope that this doesn't result in us leaving an uninhabitable, war-torn world for our future generation.
