Malaysia Air Murder

No matter who shot down the Malaysia 777, the event surpasses human tragedy. A missile fired at a passenger jet is wanton murder in all but the most exceptional circumstances. The only instance where such an act may be tolerable is when the plane itself is being used as a missile as the world saw on September 11,2001. There is no indication that this was the case with the plane over the Ukraine. It is evident Americans were on board. All souls aboard are feared lost. Nearly three hundred are thought to have died on the plane, and more may have died from falling debris. Facts must be ascertained and the guilty must be held to account.
