It was a great loss that happened and the people from America and elsewhere are saddened by this. Some very great and noble people were killed in this crash. If it does point to Islamic terrorism, then war must be declared against this faction but in the meanwhile, we are sending our sincerest condolences to President Vladimir Putin, his country and the families that have lost loved ones in this tragedy. Their memories will always remain though, for they all brought light and goodness in this world! Rest in Peace. M. Marjorie
