They have said that they played no part in the crashes. Al queda's name has come up. If in fact it was a muslim group that did this I am interested in how Russia feels about Iraq and such now. Meaning, will they help us finish up in Iraq on a strong note with aid and soldiers to get them back on their feet even faster.

Let me amend my statement by saying they should nuke whomoever is responsible.
Thank you.

I was in Ukraine in June-July which used to be part of USSR. They have a few people of a certain mind-set or conviction in that country [free for 12 yrs - after breakup of USSR] who are suggesting more support for Chechnya.

While a small minority this act, if it is an act of terrorism, will enbolden them and others in that region. I doubt that will be on news. Russia is still not very popular with certain groups.

It was an interesting trip - if anyone is in Ukr, Belrus or anywhere like that reads this forum I would be interested your opinions on that.

Sorry if this is not a good forum for this- PM me if not.
