Kitty ~ I think that's why Putin has been given such a long leash...he controls oil, gas, etc. that flows to many european countries.

Yes, you're right, and until now, those European countries had not been so directly affected. Now that they have, it will be interesting to see how they respond. It may affect their economies to some degree if they go along with the more stringent sanctions, but I hope they will realize that human lives are more important than money.

I understand that the victims are not yet id'd-- it actually reinforces my idea that we are all just humans, of the same universe.

Amen.

Seeing all those people line the route was really touching. The passengers finally get treated with the respect they deserve.

I saw a video this AM where the reporter was interviewing the director of a orphanage in a town close to the crash site. The children were outside playing in the orphanage playground and bodies started falling into the playground. The bodies of two woman and a boy fell right in front of them. The director said the children were totally traumatized as you would expect. The list of victims here extends beyond the listing of those killed unfortunately.

I'm sure there is always plotting but what a lot of Westerners do not understand is that he still has a lot of support from his people.

Sydney ~ You are right about that...just the other day I was reminded of it.

Sorry to go off topic, but has anyone seen magenta? I have been worried that she may have had a friend or relative on board? CH
