I know recently told me the Aussie families involved in the July 2014 MH17 crash may have already forgiven Russia even though an LNP politician recently had to apologise to those same families for suggesting we should forgive Russia and move on, which sparked outrage. She also told me she couldn’t understand why I was so worried about it and that I was the only one to be worried.

Well, the way I see it, people shouldn’t hold back and have to justify their emotions when something bad happens around the world. Remember for instance the assassinations of Kennedy, Martin Luther King, John Lennon, Princess Diana, the death of Michael Hutchence, Mother Theresa and other celebrities, French nuclear tests, 1985 Rainbow Warrior bombing, 9/11, 2002 Bali bombings?

Even up to now, Vladimir Putin is persisting in his international campaign. A dictator will always behave like a dictator until someone is able to remove him from power. The attack on the MH17 plane was an attack on all of us.
